CPSC Year in Review: What the Heck Just Happened? Unpacking Product Safety Regulation and Enforcement in 2025 and Predicting What It Means for Product Safety Compliance in 2026

2025 was a whiplash year at the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), between sweeping executive orders to “deconstruct” parts of the administrative state and unprecedented leadership turmoil, record-setting recall activity, and headline-making penalties and prosecutions. In this webinar, we’ll unpack what happened this past year and what it means for product manufacturers, importers, and retailers on the product safety compliance front. We’ll close with practical predictions for the year ahead, so you can ready your teams, products, and policies for 2026.
