What this bill does

H.R. 1770, the Consumer Safety Technology Act, directs three federal agencies to examine emerging technologies. First, it requires the Consumer Product Safety Commission to establish, within one year, a pilot program using artificial intelligence for at least one purpose such as tracking product-related injury trends, identifying hazards, monitoring retail markets (including online) for recalled products, or flagging products barred from importation. The Commission must consult with technologists, cybersecurity experts, retailers, manufacturers, and consumer safety groups, and report publicly to Congress on the program's results after it concludes. Second, it directs the Secretary of Commerce, working with the Federal Trade Commission, to study blockchain technology's potential uses in preventing consumer fraud and report findings, including regulatory recommendations, to Congress. Third, it requires the FTC to report on its enforcement actions and other efforts addressing unfair or deceptive practices involving digital "tokens," along with any legislative recommendations.

The bill primarily affects federal agencies—the CPSC, Commerce Department, and FTC—by imposing new study, pilot-program, and reporting deadlines. It does not create new consumer rights, penalties, or regulations directly, but could inform future policy on AI use in safety monitoring and consumer protection related to blockchain and digital tokens.

The bill was introduced in March 2025 and passed the House on July 14, 2025, by a vote of 336-36. It now goes to the Senate, where it would need to pass before being sent to the President for signature.
