As the number of consumer product safety regulations continues to escalate in the United States and throughout the world, we assist our clients in navigating the resulting legal and business implications. Our interdisciplinary team of attorneys partners with manufacturers, private labelers, distributors, and retailers of consumer products to address a wide range of consumer product safety issues.

We work proactively with our clients to identify potential product hazards and defects to help them avoid costly litigation and regulatory fines. We work with standards organizations such as the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in developing and modifying product standards based on our clients’ needs.

Since the passage of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) in 2008, the launching of the product safety information database Saferproducts.gov in 2010, and the introduction of reporting obligations around the world, our attorneys have written extensively on consumer product safety issues, and they share their knowledge and insights in speaking engagements across the country.
