The regulatory landscape for the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is facing significant uncertainty. Recent executive orders from the White House aim to reduce the size of the federal government, while the DOJ’s new stance challenges the constitutionality of tenure protections for CPSC commissioners. These changes could reshape how the CPSC operates and enforces safety standards—impacting companies across industries. What could this mean for the future of consumer product safety? How might reduced staffing or leadership changes affect compliance and enforcement practices?
