E-scooters may be convenient, but our latest findings raise serious safety concerns. With higher speeds, growing injury data, and no U.S. safety standard specifically for adult e-scooters sold to consumers, CR no longer recommends them. Learn more. ⬇️

Good to see @USCPSC working hard to help families stay safe during the federal shutdown and as the government reopened. We appreciate @FeldmanCPSC’s commitment to safety recalls for hazardous products and public warnings when a company isn’t taking action fast enough.

Our Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is in danger!
The White House is floating a plan to eliminate the CPSC, an agency that finds hazardous or poorly designed products to warn consumers, get them off the market, and push for safer products. act.consumerreports.org/lNk2…

The CPSC was created by Congress and answers to Congress. Congress answers to YOU! Call your Senators and Representative today and tell them we need the CPSC to remain an independent, bipartisan agency. The safety of products in your home and your child's life depend on it.
CR condemns the unlawful removal of @USCPSC leaders. It demolishes the agency’s role as an independent, bipartisan, data-driven safety watchdog. Consumers will be at greater risk from unsafe products if the move is not reversed. advocacy.consumerreports.org…

"Consumer Reports today condemned the illegal firing of agency leaders at the independent Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), as announced by the Commissioners themselves. The three leaders—CPSC Commissioners Alex Hoehn-Saric, Rich Trumka, Jr., and Mary Boyle—have a proven track record of putting consumers’ safety first in a rapidly evolving marketplace. CR demands that the purported firings be reversed immediately, and that Congress support these Commissioners in keeping their lawfully held roles." @CRAdvocacy

Did you know a CPSC product warning isn’t less serious just because it’s not a recall?
May the 4th be with you & keep those littles sleeping safely❤️

What ordinarily would have been a quiet and wonky procedural hearing of the CPSC got heated yesterday, as the Democratic & Republican commissioners traded accusations and debated their agency's very right to exist. consumerreports.org/product-…

“My daughter Cheyenne died of strangulation after creating a loop from the cord that runs in between the slats of a window blind. The CPSC ensures that no parent suffers a loss like mine.” No more victims! Protect the CPSC for safer products today: act.consumerreports.org/lNk2…
