Removes the statutory exclusion of firearms from the definition of 'consumer product' under the Consumer Product Safety Act, allowing the CPSC to issue safety standards that could impose new regulatory requirements on firearm manufacturers and dealers.
Section 3(a)(5) of the Consumer Product Safety Act (15 U.S.C. 2052(a)(5)) is amended by striking subparagraph (E) and redesignating subparagraphs (F) through (I) as subparagraphs (E) through (H), respectively.

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill strikes the explicit exclusion of pistols, revolvers, and other firearms from the CPSC's consumer-product jurisdiction, which would enable the agency to set mandatory safety standards for firearms. This subjects the firearms industry to new federal regulation, which falls under the industry-liability topic as it expands regulatory oversight and potential compliance burdens on manufacturers and dealers.
