CPSC Pool Safely

Consumer Product Safety Commission:

CPSC is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death associated with the use of the thousands of consumer products under the agency’s jurisdiction. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product incidents cost the nation more than $900 billion annually. CPSC is committed to protecting consumers and families from products that pose a fire, electrical, chemical, or mechanical hazard. CPSC’s work to ensure the safety of consumer products – such as toys, cribs, power tools, cigarette lighters, and household chemicals – contributed to a decline in the rate of deaths and injuries associated with consumer products over the past 40 years. A major public education initiative is swimming pool safety.

Past Campaigns:

The Pool Safely campaign is CPSC’s national public education campaign to reduce childhood drownings, submersion injuries and entrapments in swimming pools and spas. The campaign is a call-to-action for consumers and the industry to adopt proven water safety steps and join a national conversation about pool and spa safety by sharing best practices and other life-saving information. Pool Safely carries out the provisions of the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool & Spa Safety Act (P&SS Act), federal legislation mandating requirements for public pools and spas, including a public information campaign.
