Klobuchar Statement on Supreme Court CPSC Ruling
July 23, 2025
WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) released the following statement after the Supreme Court cleared the way for the Trump administration to remove three Democratic Consumer Product Safety Commissioners while challenges to their firings continue.
"For over 50 years, the Consumer Product Safety Commission has been free from politics so it can remain focused on its core mission of keeping Americans safe-from banning lead paint, to ensuring electronics aren't fire hazards, to making swimming pools safe for kids. Last year alone, the Commission recalled 153 million unsafe items."
"By firing the three Democratic commissioners, the President has undermined the independent structure of the Commission and its critical work-and the Supreme Court is letting it happen."
