It&#8217;s the group that often handles recalls of items such as <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/lg-electronics-recall-ranges-fire-burn-people-property-pets\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">kitchen ranges that can set fires<\/a><\/span> and steam cleaners that <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/bissell-recall-steam-cleaners-due-to-burn-risk\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">have burned users<\/a><\/span>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In his statement, Trumka said he was given no reason for his firing, but that his dismissal came after he and two other commissioners voted against allowing members of Elon Musk&#8217;s Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, to work at the agency. Trumka, who was appointed to a 7-year term by President Biden in 2021, said he pushed back against DOGE because &#8220;if these people are allowed in to govern our agency, they will gut it and the result will turn back the clock on product safety.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He added, &#8220;CPSC&#8217;s livesaving work is far too important to take this lying down.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In addition to Trumka, two other commissioners on the five-person Consumer Product Safety Commission were fired on Thursday,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/nation\/2025\/05\/09\/consumer-product-safety-commission-firings-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">according<\/a> to the Washington Post. All three were Democrats, the publication said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The White House didn&#8217;t immediately respond to a request for comment, however, in a press briefing Friday, White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said that the CPSC falls under the executive branch, giving the president the right to fire employees there.<\/p>\n<p>Consumer Reports issued a statement condemning the CPSC firings, and said that the commissioners should be reinstated immediately.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is an appalling and lawless attack on the independence of our country&#8217;s product safety watchdog,&#8221; said William Wallace, director of safety advocacy for Consumer Reports, in an email. &#8220;Anyone who cares about keeping their family safe should oppose this move and demand that it be reversed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>DOGE firings\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>DOGE has sought to cut federal workers in the name of reducing fraud, waste and abuse. But many of its firings have had to be reversed, either because the group mistakenly fired essential workers \u2014 like <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/usda-accidentally-fired-bird-flu-experts-rehire\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">bird-flu experts<\/a><\/span> with the U.S. Department of Agriculture \u2014 or after a court ruled the dismissals were illegal.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>DOGE&#8217;s savings have largely been <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/doge-cuts-cost-135-billion-analysis-elon-musk-department-of-government-efficiency\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">wiped out<\/a><\/span>\u00a0by costs related to those issues as well as lost productivity, according to a recent analysis by the Partnership for Public Service, a nonpartisan nonprofit that focuses on the federal workforce.<\/p>\n<p>The CPSC firings come after the Trump administration dismissed other officials at independent agencies, including the\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-white-house-fires-alvin-brown-ntsb\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">vice chair<\/a><\/span> of the National Transportation Safety Board this week and a\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/former-national-labor-relations-board-member-who-was-fired-by-trump-speaks-out\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">member<\/a><\/span> of the National Labor Relations Board in January.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If my illegal firing is allowed to stand, it will clear the way for the Administration and its lapdogs to cripple the lifesaving functions of this agency to benefit their wealthy donors,&#8221; Trumka added.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n        <\/aside>\n<p>    <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/aimee-picchi\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Aimee  Picchi<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Aimee Picchi is the associate managing editor for CBS MoneyWatch, where she covers business and personal finance.
