## What this source is

The Consumer Product Safety Commission regulates consumer product safety and orders recalls. Its bulletins carry recall announcements naming specific products and hazards, safety warnings, and civil-penalty settlements.

**Model-written orientation**

The Consumer Product Safety Commission sends email notifications of product recalls, safety hazards, and enforcement actions affecting consumer products.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission is an independent federal regulatory agency established to protect the public against unsafe consumer products. The CPSC has the authority to set safety standards for thousands of consumer products—from toys and children's products to household appliances, electronics, and furniture—and to order recalls when products pose hazards. The commission also enforces compliance with safety standards and imposes civil penalties on manufacturers and distributors who violate regulations.

The CPSC email subscription notifies readers of recalls and safety actions. Each announcement identifies the specific product being recalled (brand, model, or product line), describes the hazard that prompted the recall (structural failure, choking risk, fire or burn danger, chemical exposure, electrical hazard), and provides instructions for consumers—whether to stop using the product, return it for a refund or replacement, or await a repair kit. Readers also receive notices of import refusals (products the CPSC blocked from entering U.S. commerce because they failed safety testing), safety warnings about product defects or misuse risks, and announcements of civil-penalty settlements against manufacturers for safety violations. The feed covers the full range of the CPSC's regulatory authority: children's products (toys, cribs, car seats, clothing), household products (appliances, furniture, tools), electronics (chargers, batteries, cordless devices), and leisure products (bicycles, sporting goods, recreational equipment). A single day may bring recalls of toys, furniture, and appliances as manufacturers discover defects through field reports or testing. The stream serves consumers seeking recall alerts, media outlets reporting on product safety, retail and e-commerce businesses managing inventory compliance, and manufacturers monitoring the regulatory environment. Each bulletin reflects the CPSC's core mission: identifying unsafe products and removing them from commerce or requiring remediation.

## How we ingest it

| Term | Description |
|---|---|
| Channel | email bulletin |
| Method | Subscription bulletins to the project mailbox, ingested by the email adapter (src/fapd/email_sources.py; raw RFC-5322 capture, DKIM verify-and-archive). |
| Requests | none — bulletins are delivered to the project mailbox by the agency's own subscription service |
| Authenticity | every message's DKIM signature is checked on arrival and the result is disclosed on each item; in the inbox a failing signature is labeled, never silently dropped; in the junk folder, which is read too, only a message whose signature verifies and matches the sender's domain is accepted, and the rest are refused and counted |
| Capture and hash | captured raw content is hashed (SHA-256) into the day's committed provenance manifest, hash-chained day to day (PROVENANCE.md) |

## Ingestion health

Counts are of our own requests, retries included. A 4xx or 5xx is the server declining to return content — that may be load, maintenance, on-demand generation, or a limit the publisher sets, and we cannot tell which from outside. Nothing here is a measurement of the publisher.
