Trump Dismisses Democratic Commissioners from Consumer Product Safety Commission

In a significant move, President Trump has fired all three Democratic-appointed members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), triggering backlash from opposition members and raising concerns about the future of the agency. The decision comes as part of a broader effort to reshape the commission, labeled by critics as an attempt to dismantle consumer protection oversight. The dismissed commissioners have stated their intention to challenge the firings in court, claiming that the actions taken by the Trump administration were illegal and unjust. This development has prompted calls from Democratic lawmakers for the administration to reverse its decision and has sparked a wider debate over the role and effectiveness of the CPSC.
