Smart Devices, Appliances with Hidden Microphones, Cameras Must Be Disclosed to Consumers

Press Release

"By 2026, it's estimated that more than 84 million households will have smart devices -- providing connection and control over everything from your air conditioning to your air fryer. Yet, most consumers expect their refrigerators to keep the milk cold, not come equipped with a camera or microphone to record their personal and private family discussions. With passage by the Senate, we are one step closer to ensuring that consumers know whether their household appliances are capable of invading their privacy."
