which the maximum authorized penalty 

was last adjusted. 15 U.S.C. 2069(a)(3), 

1264(c)(6), and 1194(e)(5). 

The CPSIA amended the CPSA, 

FHSA, and FFA to increase the 

maximum civil penalty amounts to 

$100,000 for each violation, and 

$15,000,000 for any related series of 

violations. 15 U.S.C. 2069(a)(1), 

1264(c)(1), and 1194(e)(1). The CPSIA 

also revised the starting date from 

December 1, 1994, and every fifth year 

thereafter, to no later than December 1, 

2011, on which ‘‘the Commission shall 

prescribe and publish in the Federal 

Register a schedule of maximum 

authorized penalties that shall apply for 

violations that occur after January 1 of 

the year immediately following such 

publication.’’ 

The Commission’s Directorate for 

Economics has calculated that the costof-living adjustment increases the 

maximum civil penalty amounts to 

$101,053 for each violation, and to 

$15,157,981 for any related series of 

violations. Rounding off these numbers 

in accordance with the statutory 

directions, the adjusted maximum 

amounts are $100,000 for each violation, 

and $15,150,000 for any related series of 

violations. These new amounts will 

apply to violations that occur after 

January 1, 2012.
