Whenever the Commission finds that—
(1) a consumer product is being, or will be, distributed in commerce and such consumer product presents an unreasonable risk of injury; and

the Commission may, in accordance with [section 2058 of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title15-section2058&num=0&edition=prelim), promulgate a rule declaring such product a banned hazardous product.
