Commissioner Richard Trumka Jr.

Abolishing independent agencies for partisan political aims is a big mistake. Consumers and kids will get hurt.

The Acting Chair’s delay on the Button Batteries Final Rule doesn’t just endanger children, it disrespects the parents and advocates who fought to make it happen.

Why Is the Acting Chair Afraid to Hear From Consumers? Why Is the Acting Chair Afraid to Hear From Consumers?

Real leaders listen to the needs of those they serve. @cpsc.gov
does this during our annual priorities hearing. Why did the CPSC’s acting chair cancel it for the second time?

Here’s the update: @cpsc.gov is back. PART 1/2

I’m back, and ready to keep protecting the American public. PART TWO

I’m back, and ready to keep protecting the American public. PART ONE

Trump Firing Consumer Product Safety Commissioners Was Unlawful - Public Citizen WASHINGTON, D.C. – A lawsuit filed today in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland challenges President Donald…

The law is clear. We’re going to win this case, so that we can get back to protecting American consumers.

Thank you to @trumkacpsc.bsky.social, @hoehnsariccpsc.bsky.social, and Mary Boyle, the Consumer Product Safety Commissioners who were illegally fired, for speaking out against the dismantling of this lifesaving agency.
 
Hear more about the important work of the CPSC:

First, @cpsc.gov Commissioners Hoehn-Saric, Trumka, and Boyle were unlawfully fired. Now, their X accounts have been deleted.

Product safety should save lives. Not play politics. Not hide the truth. @consumerfed.bsky.social

We were created to keep the public safe. Now, the 2 Commissioners left at @cpsc.gov are doing the exact opposite.

They deleted my X account for speaking out against the illegal firings and for telling the truth about what’s happening inside of government. If they can censor me, they can censor you too. Follow @RichTrumkaJr on X and @Trumkacpsc everywhere else.

We agree with @trumkacpsc.bsky.social, any cuts to #CPSC would compromise #safety in homes and schools across the country! #ProtectCPSC #HandsOffCPSC

Today SHOULD have been our priorities hearing—the day when YOU get to tell us what we should be focusing on as an agency. Instead, shortly after we were illegally fired, that hearing was canceled. Silencing the public’s voice in the government is an attack we cannot take lying down.

Products aren’t just getting more expensive—they may also get more dangerous.

Every day this illegal firing stands is another day Americans are put in even greater danger.

PART TWO

See you in court, Mr. President. PART ONE:

I was illegally fired for standing up for the American people.

Soft surfaces like infant pillows and loungers are unsafe for infant sleep. Today, @cpsc.gov is protecting babies from infant pillow suffocation with our new safety standard.

Voting to prevent deaths is one of the easiest parts of my job. Today, @cpsc.gov advanced a solution to save innocent Americans from tragedy by lithium-ion battery fires.

Safety is for every age 👷The kids had a blast touring the lab at @cpsc.gov’s #TakeYourKidToWorkDay. Big thanks to our amazing staff for putting this together.

Protect yourself and others by:

1️⃣: Subscribing to cpsc.gov/recalls
2️⃣: Beware of products that claim to be safety certified by @cpsc.gov (We don’t do that, that’s the company’s job).
3️⃣: Report unsafe products to saferproducts.gov

Experts at @cpsc.gov are working to keep you safe every day. Whether we're warning you about hazardous products, recalling them, or holding those shady companies accountable-we work for YOU.

But no one can protect themselves from things they don't know about. ⬇️

When @cpsc.gov discovers a product can harm you, some companies do the right thing and fix it immediately.

Others?

They delay, deny, and try to ignore us, all while continuing to sell the hazardous product. They are COUNTING on you being uninformed. But here's the good news: ⬇️
