Plain-English summary
Consumer Product Safety Commission Enhanced Enforcement Act of 2000 - Amends the Consumer Product Safety Act and the Federal Hazardous Substances Act to direct the Consumer Product Safety Commission to order the manufacturer, distributor, or retailer to take action that the Commission determines to be in the public interest if it determines (after affording opportunity for an informal hearing) that the repair, replacement, or refund action previously elected by the manufacturer, distributor, or retailer is not in the public interest.
Revises civil and criminal penalties, removing the existing cap on the maximum civil penalty that can be assessed to companies that market products in a related series of violations of Federal consumer product safety regulations.
