Consumer Product Safety Commission Creating Import Surveillance division

CongressNow.com reports: “Facing mounting criticism from Congress and consumer advocates, the Consumer Product Safety Commission is creating a new organization to inspect foreign imports as well as a new system to warn consumers more quickly about potentially defective and dangerous products, CPSC Commissioner Nancy Nord said today. According to Nord, speaking at the National Press Club, the new organization within CPSC, to be known as the import surveillance division, will permanently place CPSC staff at key ports of entry, arming them with a new cargo tracking system to help them stop and inspect suspect shipments.”
