CFA Submits Testimony to CPSC for Annual Priorities Hearing

Consumer Federation of America has submitted written testimony to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) ahead of its annual priorities hearing, emphasizing the critical role the agency plays in protecting the public from hazardous products. The testimony highlights the importance of CPSC’s status as an independent, bipartisan agency, which ensures that decisions about consumer safety are guided by evidence and public interest rather than political or industry influence. CFA urges CPSC to continue its focus on strengthening enforcement, protecting Americans from unsafe products available for purchase on online marketplaces, and prioritizing known and emerging product safety risks in the year ahead.
