The Consumer Products Safety Commission has launched a new product safety information database, which aims to help consumer identify and report defective products for the utmost consumer protection.
SaferProducts.gov will also assist the government in identifying hazardous products quickly and more efficiently.
“Through SaferProducts.gov consumers will have open access to product safety information that they have never seen before and the information will empower them to make safer choices,” said Chairman Inez Tenenbaum.
Product liability attorneys know hundreds of defective products are marketed to consumers each year. Defective vehicles, dangerous child products and dangerous medical devices are among the most common. While companies have an obligation to ensure their products are say, they too often fail — putting profits before consumer safety.
The new system gives the CPSC five days to review online reports and forward concerns to the manufacturer, when warranted. The manufacturer then has 10 days to respond before the report and the manufacturer’s comments are posted at SaferProducts.gov.
In thousands of cases, the role a defective product plays in a serious or fatal injury may go undetected. The one-vehicle accident may not be linked to a stuck accelerator or fatal injuries may never be linked to a faulty airbag for instance. This is particularly true with medical products or dangerous pharmaceuticals; patients expect to be helped, not harmed. Yet pharmaceutical companies and medical device makers are among the most egregious offenders when it comes to developing and marketing dangerous or deadly products.
“I believe that an informed consumer is an empowered consumer,” added Chairman Tenenbaum. “The ability for parents and consumers to search this database for incidents involving a product they already own or are thinking of purchasing will enable them to make independent decisions aimed at keeping their family safe.”

Client Experiences
When individuals and families face the challenges of mesothelioma and asbestos exposure—coping with complex treatments, escalating costs, and emotional strain—they turn to Ferraro Law for clarity, guidance, and steadfast support. Through meticulous case preparation, empathetic counsel, and strategic representation, our attorneys build compelling cases that secure meaningful settlements to cover medical expenses, provide financial relief, and offer a path toward stability during difficult times.
To the general public searching for a competent aggressive law firm, I must recommend The Ferraro Law firm. After my first consultation with this firm, it was clear this was the right firm to handle my case.
I had tried a few others but was not impressed. In fact, the others made me feel like just a number. I’m a licensed general contractor with many years of experience. The main thing in my business success is, and has been, communication.
Ferraro Law has given me the very best communication I could ask for. As we all know, things don’t always happen overnight. This is where communication comes in.
My thanks to the Ferraro Law firm for transparency and diligent attention to all the details in my case.
I recommend them highly with a five star rating. 10 if I could.

I had a truly positive experience working with Ferraro Law Firm, especially Berta, who supported me every step of the way. From the beginning, she was kind, patient, and very clear in her communication. She set realistic expectations and checked in with me often, which made a big difference during a time that felt overwhelming in my personal life.
Receiving a settlement sounds like it should be simple, but it can actually be a lot to process. Berta made everything feel manageable. The process of signing documents and receiving my settlement was smooth and stress-free, and I always felt reassured that everything was being handled properly.
What stood out to me the most was how considerate and understanding she was of me as a person, not just a case. As a mother, that meant a lot. I truly felt supported throughout the entire experience.
I’m very grateful for the help I received and would absolutely recommend Ferraro Law Firm to anyone looking for professionalism, guidance, and genuine care during a legal process.
