Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Consumer Protection Agency is responsible for protecting consumers from unsafe products and deceptive marketing practices. They would be the best bureaucracy to contact for information about potentially harmful chemicals in products, such as the plastic in Cynthia's child's toy. The other options may also be able to provide information, but their focus is not specifically on consumer product safety.
