About me

In her role, Lynyak has direct responsibility for the standards development activities within Committee F15 on Consumer Products and Committee E50 on Environmental Assessment, Risk Management and Corrective Action. By bringing together industry and manufacturers, consumers, testing labs and regulators, Lynyak manages the technical committee that addresses hazards for a range of consumer product areas such as toys, juvenile products, playgrounds, and furniture safety, amongst others. Many of these standards have been the basis for mandatory rules through incorporation by reference under the Consumer Products Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) and have been used internationally. Lynyak also supports the important role Committee E50’s standards play in environmental site assessments, due diligence practices, real estate transactions and greener cleanups.
