@cpsc.gov ensures that medications are sold in child safe packaging so that kids don't accidently swallow them. Store your iocane powder (and other meds) safely. Hat tip to Comic Con 2025.

I am disappointed in the Supreme Court decision that has stayed the lower court decision and resulted in the removal of my Democratic colleagues and me from our seats on the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Water beads are a hidden danger in homes that can result in severe injuries and even death if swallowed by an infant. So small that they are easy to lose on the floor when older kids or adults use with them, only to be found later and swallowed by a crawling baby. www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

With swim season in full swing, make sure you are following the safety steps in this video. Many drownings occur in backyard pools. Be a good neighbor and make sure your pool is surround by a fence at least 4-feet tall even, if you don't have kids. youtu.be/teyWSBanGqw?...

To improve product safety @cpsc.gov needs to hear from the public about what we do well, how we can improve and what we should be focused on. Unnecessarily delaying our Priorities Hearing undermines CPSC's ability to advance our safety mission. See my statement: www.cpsc.gov/About-CPSC/C...

From two years ago, but fireworks safety is just as important today. Most of the fireworks injuries we see happen in the days leading up to and after the 4th of July. Enjoy the day but be safe and avoid the emergency room. youtu.be/2Q6WVXxxqRs?...

Now is the time to support CPSC staff not to reduce their numbers, which ultimately jeopardizes our safety mission and increases product safety risks to the public. That is why I voted to stop unauthorized RIFs. See my statement: cpsc.gov/About-CPSC/C...

Last month, in what may be a first for an independent federal agency, the Consumer Product Safety Commission submitted a budget request to Congress proposing its own elimination. My op-ed in The Hill talks about the devastating impact this change would have on consumer protection.

A reminder for Throw-back Thursday, don’t take safety advice from just anyone. Look to @USCPC for safety guidance, not Irwin Mainway. And stay away from his Bag o’ Glass! www.youtube.com/watch?v=veMi...

Last month in California, three people died in a house fire ignited by a lithium-ion battery in an e-bike. The victims included a great-grandmother, a grandmother, and a six-year-old girl who left behind her twin sister.
