Protecting Americans from Harmful CCP Products Act
To amend the Consumer Product Safety Act to protect Americans from harmful CCP products.
Summary
The bill would amend the Consumer Product Safety Act to allow the Consumer Product Safety Commission to issue mandatory recalls of products from manufacturers or retailers located in China without their consent, if the product presents a substantial product hazard and the company fails to respond adequately to CPSC requests. The bill requires the Commission to publish notice of any such recall at least 30 days before it takes effect. The legislation also redefines the term "distributor" under the Consumer Product Safety Act to include e-commerce platforms that are headquartered in or primarily operate from China and facilitate sales to U.S. consumers. The bill creates a rebuttable presumption favoring the Commission's determination that a Chinese product poses a substantial product hazard.
