Abstract: This is a request for a survey to assess awareness of CPSC and other product safety information and resources. It is an initial effort to obtain direct input from consumers who may not be reached through existing Commission communication channels. Findings will inform efforts to broaden the Commission's reach and develop communications approaches that respond to target audiences' needs for information. Messaging and dissemination tailored to audience responses will support more efficient allocation of resources for informing consumers about product safety issues.
