It's been an honor to collaborate with the @USCPSC on the #AnchorIt campaign. Join us in celebrating the 10th Anniversary of the campaign and share our message far and wide. We've made great strides, but our work is not done. Anchor your furniture and TVs today! #Anchoritturns10

Over the past decade, we've worked with Parents Against Tipovers (@tipovers) - an org founded by parents who lost children in tip-over incidents - and other advocates. Their help has been instrumental in educating the public about this deadly hazard. youtube.com/shorts/f6tTMNJ…

“You cannot propose to eliminate a critical #safety agency, bury it in a department that is simultaneously being gutted, then pretend Americans will somehow be safer,” said @CGriffinCFA #CPSC #ProductSafety

Americans are already feeling the squeeze from high household costs. Rolling back appliance standards won’t help—it’ll hurt. The so-called savings don’t hold up, and families could face even higher energy and water bills.

Remember the outrage over CPSC studying gas stoves? A basic public health investigation spun into a culture war flashpoint?
New study: Benzene levels from gas stoves exceed safety limits. Kids face 1.85x higher cancer risk.

Let me clarify what “the bottom 60%” means…
It means the majority. The majority of U.S. households don't make enough money to afford a "minimal quality of life.”

First, @USCPSC Commissioners Hoehn-Saric, Trumka, and Boyle were unlawfully fired. Now, their X accounts have been deleted.
Product safety should saves lives. Not play politics. Not hide the truth. @ConsumerFed

First, Trump illegally tried to fire the 3 Democratic commissioners from the Consumer Product Safety Commission — now, their official accounts have been deleted. What happened to freedom of speech? What happened to transparency? Silencing public servants who fight to keep you safe from dangerous products sets a chilling precedent. We should all be asking: What are they trying to hide?

This follows the firing of #CarlaHayden the head of the @librarycongress The CPSC is the group which focuses on consumer product safety and recalls.

The #CPSC keeps us all safe, but especially our CHILDREN. @RepDWStweets is 100% right - these illegal firings turns the ONLY product safety watchdog into a political weapon. @ConsumerFed strongly condems this unprecedented gutting of @USCPSC leadership.
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz@RepDWStweets
Trump doesn't want your child and family safe. His lawless @USCPSC assault proves it. Trump's partisan firings will turn an independent agency that keeps pools safe and dangerous baby toys and bunk beds off our shelves into a nest of crony incompetence. I'll fight it nonstop.

"Consumer Reports today condemned the illegal firing of agency leaders at the independent Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), as announced by the Commissioners themselves. The three leaders—CPSC Commissioners Alex Hoehn-Saric, Rich Trumka, Jr., and Mary Boyle—have a proven track record of putting consumers’ safety first in a rapidly evolving marketplace. CR demands that the purported firings be reversed immediately, and that Congress support these Commissioners in keeping their lawfully held roles." @CRAdvocacy

“The illegal firing of #CPSC Commissioners is not just a brazen, unprecedented, and reckless assault on the rule of law, it is a direct threat to the lives and physical #safety of Americans, especially our most vulnerable.”

Draft federal budget proposes to ELIMINATE the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). This small agency with a big mission protects all Americans from dangerous household products. Protect the CPSC. It protects you and your family.
