Summary
The Consumer Product Safety Commission is making a shocking pivot—shifting from regulating toasters and toys to demanding access to millions of detailed, personally identifiable medical records from ER visits for any injury, even minor ones. Backed by a private contractor, Konza Health, and threatening penalties under “information blocking” rules, the CPSC is forcing hospitals to hand over sensitive data without public notice or debate. With staff departures and no governing board, critics warn this move undermines patient privacy and exposes millions to data breach risks—while major health systems like Mass General Brigham refuse to comply, calling it a dangerous overreach.
