A new consumer product safety law has provided whistleblower protection to California and US employees in the retail and manufacturing sectors. The federal Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008, signed by President George W. Bush on August 14, 2008, protects employees in certain industries from being retaliated against or discriminated against for reporting product defects or testifying against such a defect or recall, to name a few reasons. An experienced employment lawyer will be able to thoroughly answer your questions and address your concerns arising under this new Act.

A ‘whistle blower‘ is an employee who informs a government or law enforcement agency of an illegal act in his or her place of work. A whistle blower is protected by law from being retaliated against or discriminated against for reporting the crime or assisting in a proceeding against the employer. The CPSIA is one of several federal laws that protect a whistle blowing employee.
