Under CPSA congressional findings, an unacceptable number of consumer products which present _____ are distributed in commerce.

• A. An unreasonable risk of injury
• B. A negligible risk of injury
• C. A moderate risk of injury
• D. No risk

Answer: (A)

Under CPSA congressional findings, the key idea is the standard for when a consumer product is considered unsafe: it must present an unreasonable risk of injury to the public. This phrase guides how regulators decide which products to regulate, recall, or ban. It means the risk is significant and either cannot be tolerated or could be reduced with feasible safety measures; negligible or no risk would not meet this threshold, and a moderate risk still might be unacceptable if it’s unreasonable in light of available safer alternatives.
