Summary

Firearms Safety and Consumer Protection Act of 2001 - Directs the Secretary of the Treasury to prescribe regulations governing the design, manufacture, and performance of, and commerce in, firearm products as reasonably necessary to reduce or prevent unreasonable risk of injury. Allows individuals to petition the Secretary to take certain actions with respect to such products. Grants the Secretary authority to issue orders, require recalls, and conduct inspections. Prohibits failure by: (1) a manufacturer to test and certify firearm products or to provide notice to the Secretary of new types of firearm products; (2) a manufacturer or dealer to label firearm products; and (3) an importer, manufacturer, or dealer to maintain, or permit inspection of, records. Prohibits: (1) the importation and exportation of uncertified firearm products; (2) the manufacture, offer for sale, distribution in commerce, importation, or exportation of a firearm product in violation of this Act; and (3) the manufacture, purchase, or import of a firearm product at a rate that is significantly greater than during a base period (prescribed by the Secretary) before the applicable regulation is prescribed under this Act. Sets forth civil and criminal enforcement provisions. Directs the Secretary, in coordination with the Secretary of Health and Human Services, to: (1) collect, investigate, analyze, and share with other appropriate government agencies circumstances of death and injury associated with firearms; and (2) conduct continuing studies and investigations of firearm-related deaths and injuries and the resulting economic costs and losses.
