SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Section 15(b) of the CPSA (15 U.S.C. 2051-2089) requires every 
manufacturer of a consumer product, or other product or substance over 
which the Commission has jurisdiction under any other act enforced by 
the Commission, distributed in commerce, and every distributor or 
retailer of such product, to immediately report to the Commission when 
it obtains certain information. 15 U.S.C. 2064(b). Specifically, such 
reporting is required when manufacturers, distributors, or retailers 
obtain information that reasonably supports the conclusion that a 
product:
     Fails to comply with an applicable consumer product safety 
rule or with a voluntary consumer product safety standard that the 
Commission relied on under Section 9 of the CPSA (15 U.S.C. 2058);
     fails to comply with any other rule, regulation, standard, 
or ban under the CPSA or any other act the Commission enforces;
     contains a defect which could create a substantial product 
hazard (i.e., a product defect which (because of the pattern of defect, 
the number of defective products distributed in commerce, the severity 
of the risk, or otherwise) creates a substantial risk of injury to the 
public)); or
     creates an unreasonable risk of serious injury or death.
    15 U.S.C. 2064(b). This reporting is required unless the 
manufacturer, distributor, or retailer has actual knowledge that the 
Commission has been adequately informed of such defect, such failure to 
comply, or such risk. Id. Manufacturers, distributors, and retailers 
can submit Section 15(b) reports to CPSC at: www.SaferProducts.gov/Business.
    When submitting a Section 15(b) report through 
www.SaferProducts.gov/Business, manufacturers, distributors, and 
retailers may elect to participate in the Fast Track Recall Program, 
which is an alternative procedure for recalling products reported under 
Section 15(b) of the CPSA. 62 FR 39827 (July 24, 1997).
    On March 6, 2019, CPSC held a public hearing to receive information 
from interested parties about possible changes to www.SaferProducts.gov 
to improve the website's usefulness and ease of use. 84 FR 3134 (Feb. 
11, 2019). CPSC will hold a public webinar on April 28, 2021 on further 
enhancements, focusing on Section 15(b) reporting for purposes of 
entering the Fast Track Recall Program.

II. Webinar

A. Topics for Discussion

    Participants who register for the webinar will have an opportunity 
to see the improvements to www.SaferProducts.gov/Business and provide 
feedback to CPSC through a moderated discussion. CPSC would like to 
hear from manufacturers, distributors, and retailers that have 
participated in the Fast Track Recall Program, including those who use 
www.SaferProducts.gov/Business to report potentially defective or 
hazardous products to CPSC. The goal of the webinar is to receive 
feedback on these updates and to assess the impact, if any, that the 
improvements will have on the website's utility and usability and the 
Fast Track Recall Program.
