About Consumer Product Matters

Consumer Product Matters is a product safety and consumer law blog with 234 posts written between June 2013 and September 2018.

The posts follow the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (its rules, recalls, civil penalties and commissioners), FDA food, drug and cosmetics regulation, FTC advertising and “Made in USA” cases, California’s Proposition 65, state GMO labeling laws and consumer class actions. Each post keeps its original date and authors.

The law has moved on in many of these areas since the posts were written, so read each one as a record of where things stood on its date. Nothing here is legal advice.

The busiest topics are Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Food and Beverage and Prop 65; the archives list every post by month.
