Washington, D.C. - Energy and Commerce Chairman Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ) and Consumer Protection and Commerce Subcommittee Chair Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) announced today that the Consumer Protection and Commerce Subcommittee will hold a hearing on legislation to address hazards found in everyday products on Thursday, June 13, at 10:30 am in the John D. Dingell Room, 2123 of the Rayburn House Office Building. The hearing will be entitled, “Keeping Kids and Consumers Safe from Dangerous Products."
“The Consumer Product Safety Commission has been inactive for far too long while American children have been dying from long-known dangers like furniture tip-overs, inclined sleepers, and crib bumpers," Pallone and Schakowsky said. “It’s time for Congress to act to protect consumers and spur greater CPSC enforcement and outreach. The Committee will examine legislation at this hearing to do just that."
Information for this hearing, including the Committee Memorandum, legislation, witness list and testimony, and a live webcast, will be posted HERE as they become available.
