    New Consumer Safety Legislation

    Your world is about to become significantly safer. Last week, Congress passed the strongest consumer protection legislation in decades. This is good news for all of us, especially our children.

    The new law nearly doubles CPSC funding by the year 2014. The agency will be able to build a new testing lab and add more than 100 staff positions. CPSC will soon have full-time inspectors at the major ports of entry looking for dangerous products before they can enter the country.

    It will also have the power to impose much larger civil penalties on companies that break the rules. The maximum fine goes from $1.8 to $15 million.

    Do you think something like this would have been passed if Republicans controlled Congress?  See...your vote really DOES matter.
