SEC. 2. AMENDMENTS TO THE CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY ACT.

    (a) Recall of Chinese Products.--Section 15 of the Consumer Product 
Safety Act (15 U.S.C. 2064) is amended by adding at the end the 
following:
    ``(k) Recall of Chinese Products.--
            ``(1) In general.--Notwithstanding subsection (f), the 
        Commission may issue an order under subsection (c) or (d), 
        including a mandatory recall, without the consent of the 
        manufacturer or retailer of a consumer product distributed in 
        commerce that presents a substantial product hazard if--
                    ``(A) the manufacturer or retailer of the product 
                is located in the People's Republic of China, including 
                in any of its Special Administrative Regions such as 
                Hong Kong and Macao;
                    ``(B) the product is offered for sale directly to 
                United States consumers, including via online 
                platforms;
                    ``(C) the Commission has requested information or 
                action related to the potential hazard from the 
                manufacturer or retailer and has not received a timely 
                or adequate response; and
                    ``(D) if the Commission determines that a product 
                distributed in commerce presents a substantial product 
                hazard.
            ``(2) Rebuttable presumption.--There shall be a rebuttable 
        presumption in favor of the Commission's claim that a product 
        poses a substantial product hazard under this subsection.
            ``(3) Notice.--The Commission shall publish notice of any 
        mandatory recall order under this subsection, not later than 30 
        days before the order shall take effect, on its website and 
        transmit such notice to all known distributors, importers, and 
        platforms offering the product for sale within the United 
        States.''.
    (b) Definition.--Section 3(a) of the Consumer Product Safety Act 
(15 U.S.C. 2052(a)) is amended by striking paragraph (8) and inserting 
the following:
            ``(8) Distributor.--
                    ``(A) In general.--The term `distributor' means a 
                person to whom a consumer product is delivered or sold 
                for purposes of distribution in commerce, except that 
                such term shall not include a manufacturer or retailer 
                of the product.
                    ``(B) Certain e-commerce platforms.--
                Notwithstanding any limitation described in 
                subparagraph (A), an operator of an e-commerce platform 
                that is headquartered in or primarily operates from the 
                People's Republic of China, including any of its 
                Special Administrative regions such as Hong Kong and 
                Macao, and that facilitates the sale of consumer 
                products to United States consumers, shall be 
                considered a distributor under this Act.
                    ``(C) Rule of construction.--Nothing in this 
                paragraph shall be construed as having any bearing on 
                whether any non-Chinese persons or entities are 
                distributors for purposes of this Act.''.
