The Awning Safety Act of 2025 aims to enhance safety standards for retractable awnings, which are often used in residential and commercial settings. The main objective is to reduce the risk of serious injuries or fatalities that can occur when these awnings unexpectedly open or malfunction, particularly when users are handling them. To achieve this, the Act requires the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to establish a mandatory safety standard for retractable awnings within 18 months of the law's enactment.
