The CPSC is charged with protecting
the public against dangers associated with consumer products. CPSC
seeks to better understand consumers’ understanding of specific
warning labels related to products intended for infants and how
those labels influence behavior. Research is needed to understand
the gap in consumer knowledge about product warning labels and
their adherence to and behaviors associated with them. This survey
will provide information on the subject. Findings may be used to
help refine and enhance warning labels to effectively convey
critical information about product warnings in the future.
Additionally, this work will serve to further CPSC’s overall
mission of protecting the public against dangers associated with
consumer products.
This effort is a one-time data
collection, with voluntary survey response burden. Without the
information collection requested for this project, CPSC staff could
face difficulties in developing effective strategies and best
practice approaches for delivering warnings to caregivers of
infants.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
