#StopTipOvers Save lives. Pass the STURDY Act.
Once every 60 minutes, it sends a child to the emergency room. Once every two weeks, it leads to a child’s death. It is hard to fathom that a seemingly mundane incident — furniture tipping over — can cause such a terrible toll in our homes. #StopTipOvers

The chemical industry would LOVE Nancy Beck to chair the CPSC. Everyone else cares a bit more about their personal health. Beck is lax on known toxic chemicals like PFAS, asbestos, and methylene chloride. #BadNewsBeck

Significant issues being raised about CPSC Nominee.
I am deeply concerned that President Trump’s nominee to lead @USCPSC has been involved in advocating for the deregulation of toxic chemicals known as PFAS.

"This is unbelievable, said @ChiChiWu8. "@CFPB is allowing CRAs & furnishers to exceed the FCRA's time limits for dispute investigations but not giving consumers added relief. Has @CFPB become the Bureau of Protecting Financial Companies from Consumers?" https://t.co/AEoWofIDHy
