Which organization is a Federal agency created to protect consumers from dangerous products they might purchase or use?

• A. CPSC
• B. Federal Consumer Safety Agency
• C. Consumer Product Safety Commission
• D. Consumer Protection Council

Answer: (C)

This question tests which federal body is responsible for protecting consumers from dangerous products they might buy or use. The correct answer is the Consumer Product Safety Commission. This agency was created specifically to reduce injuries and hazards from consumer products by setting safety standards, testing products, investigating hazards, and requiring recalls when items are found to be dangerous. It also provides safety information to help people use products more safely. The other names listed don’t represent the official federal agency that handles product safety, so they don’t fit the role described.
