Hi Brian, The EC has published a pretty good summary here <https://eur-lex.europa.eu/EN/legal-content/summary/general-product-safety-regulation-2023.html>, and you can download an FAQ doc (also published by the EC) here <https://ec.europa.eu/safety-gate/#/screen/pages/obligationsForBusinesses>.
With regard to being covered by compliance to existing legislation, see the question from the FAQ doc: "Which one should take priority: EU product harmonisation legislation or the GPSR?"
