On October 29, the status quo fundamentally changed for consumer product safety enforcement. On that date, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced the resolution of criminal charges against a Chinese manufacturer and its two subsidiaries under the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA). This was the very first corporate criminal enforcement action brought under the CPSA, which resulted in a guilty plea from the US subsidiary, a deferred prosecution agreement (DPA) for the Chinese parent and its Hong Kong subsidiary, and $91 million in monetary penalties and forfeitures. This development makes clear that an intentional delay in reporting a consumer product safety defect, hazard, or risk to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has the potential to lead to both civil and criminal corporate liability under the CPSA.
