Repeals the statutory exclusion of firearms from the definition of 'consumer product' under the Consumer Product Safety Act, allowing the CPSC to regulate defective firearms and thereby exposing manufacturers and dealers to more regulatory enforcement and potential liability for defects.
Section 3(a)(5) of the Consumer Product Safety Act (15 U.S.C. 2052(a)(5)) is amended by striking subparagraph (E).

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill removes the explicit exemption of pistols, revolvers, and other firearms from CPSC consumer-product regulation, which subjects the firearms industry to new safety standards and enforcement that the prior exclusion had blocked; this is a clear expansion of regulatory oversight and potential liability for manufacturers and sellers on the firearms topic.
