Two Democrats, RepDeluzio and RepMGP, have introduced the Shrinkflation Prevention Act to the House of Representatives to combat deceptive packaging practices by prohibiting corporations from reducing product sizes without lowering prices. The legislation aims to protect consumers' purchasing power and prevent corporations from profiting at the expense of customers. Senator Bob Casey is also advocating for the Price Gouging Prevention Act alongside the Shrinkflation Prevention Act to alleviate financial burdens on families. Senator Elizabeth Warren is actively supporting the bill to address shrinkflation and hold corporate entities accountable for their practices.
