FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joseph Williams, Compliance Officer, Office of Compliance and Field Operations, Consumer Product Safety Commission, 4330 East-West Highway, Bethesda, MD 20814; telephone 301- 504-7585; email: [email protected]. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has the authority to require corrective actions, also called ``recalls,'' of consumer products that present a substantial product hazard. 15 U.S.C. 2064(c). Most recalls of consumer products are conducted voluntarily by firms that work with the CPSC to develop a corrective action plan that will protect the public from potentially unsafe products. Recalls generally include notice to the public and some remedial measure, such as repair or replacement of the product or refund to the purchaser. The CPSC's regulations at 16 CFR 1115.20 and its Recall Handbook, https://www.cpsc.gov/s3fs-public/8002.pdf, provide information about working with CPSC to conduct recalls. The CPSC continually strives to enhance the effectiveness of recalls. In furtherance of this goal, CPSC will hold a workshop to engage stakeholders to explore ideas for improving the effectiveness of recalls. II. The Workshop The goal of the workshop is to explore and develop proactive measures CPSC and stakeholders can take to improve recall effectiveness, i.e. the effective implementation of recalls from public announcement to product correction. We have identified some broad topics for discussion, but would also like to include topics that stakeholders believe would be beneficial to discuss. The workshop will have a group discussion of what makes an effective recall, how to measure success, as well as some common obstacles. We will then break out into smaller groups for discussion of topics such as:Communicating the hazard [ssquf] challenges [ssquf] possibility of different approaches for different demographics [ssquf] evaluation of various communication channels [ssquf] Statutory/regulatory framework and enhanced authorities Consumer motivation [ssquf] incentives [ssquf] ways to improve consumers' motivation to participate in recalls [ssquf] challenges In-store notification [ssquf] types available [ssquf] barriers to effectiveness [ssquf] ways to improve effectiveness Social media [ssquf] current popular platforms [ssquf] increasing effectiveness of posts about recalls [ssquf] barriers to effective use [ssquf] use of paid advertising on social media Other forms of notice (push notifications, email, paid advertising, direct mail, etc.) [ssquf] possible types of notification [ssquf] what makes them effective [ssquf] barriers to effectiveness [ssquf] how to create direct mailing lists/registrations [ssquf] targeted notices (e.g., posters at pediatricians, community centers) If you would like to suggest topics for discussion, please submit them as indicated in the ADDRESSES section of this document by June 23, 2017. We anticipate that, after the workshop, staff will (1) develop a list of suggestions and ideas from stakeholders that we will share; and (2) create a summary report on key findings and suggestions for follow up. Dated: June 8, 2017. Todd A. Stevenson, Secretary, U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. [FR Doc. 2017-12185 Filed 6-12-17; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6355-01-P
