The report finds that the agency has been stretched thin over the past few years - as shown with its inability to regulate the use of lead in children's toys in the fall of 2007 - and under the National Nanotechnology Initiative, the agency has received only minimal funding to address the regulation of nanotechnology in consumer products. The report finally lays out a series of steps the federal government should take to repair the CPSC so it can play a key roll in protecting the public from any potential risks associated with nanotechnology.</style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Report</style></work-type></record></records></xml>
