The Trump administration is actively dismantling the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and has unlawfully fired three Democratic-appointed commissioners. The CPSC is a bipartisan, independent agency responsible for protecting Americans, especially children, from dangerous products by removing harmful items from shelves and homes. Critics argue that the administration's actions jeopardize public safety, citing the agency's role in reducing crib deaths and child poisonings by 80%. Lawmakers and consumer advocates have condemned the firings and are fighting to preserve the agency's functions. Separately, the administration is also targeting the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), which has recovered $21 billion for consumers scammed by corporations. Efforts to dismantle the CFPB are seen as attempts to shield fraudsters from accountability, prompting legal defenses from members of Congress. The moves against both agencies have raised concerns about the administration's commitment to consumer protection and public safety.
