Which agency ensures product safety for consumers?

• A. U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission
• B. U.S. Department of Homeland Security
• C. Committee Scope
• D. CAL Fire

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is identifying who is responsible for keeping everyday items safe for consumers. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is the federal agency that sets safety standards for consumer products, tests and monitors products on the market, and can require recalls of items found to be unsafe. This role covers a wide range of household goods and “safe-by-design” requirements so that products people buy for home use meet consistent safety rules.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security focuses on national security, border protection, and emergency response, not general consumer product safety. CAL Fire is a state agency in California that handles fire protection and prevention within the state, not the broader task of regulating consumer products. A committee scope isn’t a recognized agency responsible for consumer product safety.
