What this bill does
S. 2766, the Consumer Safety Technology Act, would direct three federal agencies to explore and report on emerging technologies related to consumer protection. First, it requires the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to create, within one year, a pilot program testing artificial intelligence for at least one purpose such as tracking product-related injuries, identifying hazards, monitoring retail and online marketplaces for recalled products, or flagging products barred from import. The CPSC must consult with technologists, cybersecurity experts, retailers, manufacturers, and consumer safety groups, and later report publicly to Congress on the program's results. Second, the bill directs the Secretary of Commerce, working with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), to study how blockchain technology could help prevent consumer fraud and deceptive practices, with public comment invited, followed by a public report to Congress. Third, it requires the FTC to report on its enforcement actions and other efforts addressing unfair or deceptive practices involving "tokens" (digital assets on a blockchain), along with any legislative recommendations.
The bill primarily affects federal agencies—the CPSC, Department of Commerce, and FTC—by imposing new study, pilot-program, and reporting requirements. Indirectly, it could affect consumers, retailers, manufacturers, and companies involved in blockchain or token-based products, since the studies and pilot program focus on safety monitoring and fraud prevention in these areas.
The bill was introduced in the Senate on September 10, 2025, by Sen. John Curtis with Sen. Blunt Rochester as a cosponsor, and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. It has not yet been voted on, and would need committee action, passage by both chambers, and presidential signature to become law.
