Klobuchar Statement on Federal Judge Blocking President Trump's Firing of CPSC Commissioners

June 13, 2025

WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) released the following statement on federal judges blocking the president's firing of the three Democratic Consumer Product Safety Commissioners and ordering their immediate reinstatement.

"This was an illegal firing that put the safety of Americans at risk. Whether it's baby products or swimming pools, the Consumer Product Safety Commission keeps people safe and gives Americans peace of mind. This ruling is a win for all consumers."

In May, Klobuchar and Senator Maria Cantwell (D-WA), Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, were joined by Senators John Hickenlooper (D-CO), Ed Markey (D-MA), and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) in urging President Trump to reverse the firing of the Consumer Product Safety Commissioners, Commissioner Hoehn-Saric, Commissioner Trumka, and Commissioner Boyle.
