Trump fired all three Democratic commissioners of the Consumer Product Safety Commission

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) was created in 1972 .

Richard Nixon signed the act into law, charging its bipartisan commissioners with ensuring that a vast swath of products do not poison, maim, or kill American citizens.

Despite repeated attempts at assassination, the CPSC managed to stay alive, surviving even the first Trump administration.

E-commerce giants Amazon and Alibaba have spent years lobbying the CPSC to reduce efforts to police the platforms for selling recalled products on their websites.

Amazon , whose founder and executive chairman Jeff Bezos has cozied up to the Trump administration with a million-dollar inauguration fund donation, is engaged in a protracted legal battle over this responsibility.
