Choose one of the items listed:
- a desk,
- a cheeseburger prepared at a local restaurant,

In your blog post, discuss the amount of involvement expected from each of the following government agencies:
- The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC),
- The Food and Drug Administration (FDA),
- The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and
- The Department of Labor.
Explain the involvement of each agency in regulating the production of your chosen good. If the government agency would not be involved in regulating the production of your chosen good, be sure to explain why.
