Allows the CPSC to order mandatory recalls for products tied to manufacturers/retailers in China (including Hong Kong/Macao) and treats China‑based e‑commerce platforms that sell to U.S. consumers as distributors.
Introduced October 29, 2025 by Richard Lynn Scott · Last progress October 29, 2025
Gives the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) a new power to order mandatory recalls of consumer products sold in U.S. commerce when the manufacturer or retailer is located in the People’s Republic of China (including Hong Kong and Macao), if the company fails to respond adequately and the product poses a substantial hazard. It also expands the legal definition of “distributor” to explicitly include e-commerce platforms headquartered in or primarily operating from China that facilitate sales to U.S. consumers, and requires public notice and 30 days’ advance notice to known distributors/importers/platforms before a mandatory recall takes effect.
