Summary of Bill HR 1767

Bill 119 hr 1767, also known as the Retractable Awnings Safety Act, aims to improve consumer safety by requiring the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to establish a mandatory safety standard for retractable awnings.

Retractable awnings are popular outdoor fixtures that provide shade and protection from the elements. However, there have been reports of accidents and injuries related to these products, such as the awning unexpectedly retracting or falling down.

The bill seeks to address these safety concerns by mandating that the CPSC develop and enforce a safety standard for retractable awnings. This standard would likely include requirements for proper installation, operation, and maintenance of these products to prevent accidents and injuries. By implementing this mandatory safety standard, the bill aims to protect consumers and ensure that retractable awnings are safe for use in homes and businesses. It is an important step towards improving product safety and preventing accidents related to these popular outdoor fixtures.
