ABSTRACT
When a chapter on consumer products was first contemplated, its scope seemed quite straightforward and limited. The interest was to develop a chapter or section that related to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), its makeup and authority, and the requirements and guidelines for toxicity safety testing of consumer products to aid the practicing industrial toxicologist. The chapter was intended to provide general information on typical testing programs a consumer products company might follow in developing health and toxicity safety information on such consumer products as household and personal hygiene products.
