Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is responsible for protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death associated with the use of consumer products. If a product, like the unstable ladders produced by Climbing High Ladder Company, poses a danger to consumers, the CPSC has the authority to order a recall of the product. The other options listed, such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have different areas of jurisdiction and wouldn't be involved in this type of recall. The Consumer Protection Agency is not a federal agency and therefore unlikely to have the same power as the CPSC.
