SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Daniel Keysar Memorial and Childhood
Consumer Product Safety Act of 1999''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

The Congress finds the following:
(1) On May 12, 1998, Chicago resident Linda Ginzel and her
husband, Boaz Keysar, lost their 16-month old son, Danny, when
a defective crib collapsed and strangled him at a Chicago day
care home. Although the licensed day care facility had been
inspected just 8 days before the incident and the crib had been
recalled by the Consumer Product Safety Commission in 1993, the
day care home was not aware of the recall and it never removed
the defective crib. Danny was the twelfth child to die in this
type of defective crib nationwide. Moreover, the thirteenth
child was killed in Fair Haven, New Jersey just 3 months later.
(2) The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is an
independent Federal regulatory agency created in 1972 to
protect the public against unreasonable risks of injuries and
deaths associated with consumer products. Although the CPSC has
jurisdiction over about 15,000 types of consumer products, its
budget is less than the Food and Drug Administration's budget
for regulating animal medicines.
(3) The budget for the Consumer Product Safety Commission
has failed to keep pace with inflation. In fact, when indexed
for inflation, the Commission's 1974 budget allocation of $30
million would be $98 million today, compared to the current
level of $47 million.
(4) Although manufacturers are required by law to report
safety problems with their products, on average only about 260
reports are filed each year. Yet, annual CPSC inspections of
over 2,000 products consistently revealed close to half the
products in violation of CPSC regulations.
(5) On average, the CPSC recalls about 200-300 products
each year, the majority of which are children's products or
toys.
(6) In 1998, 38 million individual units of children's
products were recalled.
(7) Although the CPSC is able to have recalled products
removed from retail stores, it is more difficult to have
recalled products removed from consumers' homes, the secondary
market, including resale stores and child care facilities. On
average, only 10 to 30 percent of the products recalled are
repaired or returned. The number of products destroyed by the
consumer is unknown. As a result, children and other consumers
are likely to be injured and some killed by recalled products
that have not been returned, destroyed, or repaired.

SEC. 3. RECALLED PRODUCTS.

The Consumer Product Safety Act (15 U.S.C. 2501 et seq.) is amended
by adding at the end the following:

''recalled products

''Sec. 38. (a) Within 180 days from the date of enactment of this
section, the Commission shall establish a comprehensive list of all
children's products subject to recall or corrective action under the
statutes it administers over the last 15 years and shall undertake to
make the list widely available to the general public, State and local
governments, and the secondary market, including retail stores and
child care facilities through its toll free telephone hotline,
electronic mail, and web site listings. The Commission shall develop a
strategy for partnering with State and local governments to produce and
distribute the list under this subsection to individual consumers and
the secondary market, including resale stores and child care centers.
''(b) Section 6(b) shall not apply to Commission announcements of
corrective actions. All Commission announcements of corrective actions,
including press releases, shall be identified as 'recall'. The
announcements shall, with respect to the product for which the
announcements are made--
''(1) state clearly and concisely, in the strongest
possible language, the nature and extent of the product hazard
and any potential risk of injury; and
''(2) shall include the number of known deaths, injuries
and incidents associated with the product hazard being
corrected.
In stating the hazard and risk of injury, the announcement shall use
clear and unambiguous language intended to motivate consumers to
participate in the recall. In addition, the Commission shall publicly
post press releases and other announcements of corrective action, e.g.
annual report listings in a timely manner.
''(c) The Commission shall establish a pilot program to work with
manufacturers and retailers to obtain the identity of consumers who
purchase specified juvenile or children's products so the consumer can
be notified in the event of a product recall.
''(d) The Commission shall report to Congress annually on the
effectiveness of the recalls ordered under section 15(d) for each
specific product so that the percentage of products sold and subject to
such recall or corrective action and actually recalled or repaired may
be determined and made available to the general public through its toll
free telephone hotline, electronic mail, and website.''.

SEC. 4. AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS.

The first sentence of section 32(a) of the Consumer Product Safety
Act (15 U.S.C. 2081) is amended by striking out ''not to exceed'' and
all that follows and inserting ''$100 million for each of the fiscal
years 2001, 2002, and 2003.''.
Directs the Commission to: (1) establish a pilot program to work with manufacturers and retailers to obtain the identity of consumers who purchase specified children's products so that such consumers can be notified in the event of a product recall; and (2) report to Congress annually on the effectiveness of recalls for each specific product and to determine the percentage of recalled products which are actually repaired or corrected.
Increases and extends through FY 2003 the authorization of appropriations under the Act.
