Safer Heat Act of 2023

The Safer Heat Act of 2023 requires the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to establish a mandatory safety standard for portable heating devices, directly affecting manufacturers and consumers. The standard must include an automatic shut-off feature at hazardous temperatures, either matching or exceeding existing voluntary safety standards. The CPSC must develop this rule through public consultation and can periodically update it to enhance safety. This law aims to reduce fire risks associated with portable heaters by mandating specific safety features in product design.
