Consumers claimed that a defect in a popular stroller led to hundreds of crashes, broken bones, and gashed faces — but Trump's CPSC reportedly refused to take action
, Trump's appointees have already set a laissez-faire tone on the commission, based on its case against car seat and stroller manufacturer Britax.
The CPSC is an independent government agency that is responsible for developing product safety standards. Presidents appoint partisan commissioners, who serve seven-year terms. The president also selects the five-person commission's chairperson. The CPSC launched an investigation into Britax's BOB single- and double-occupant jogging strollers, as consumers issued 200 reports of"spontaneous failure" of the stroller's wheel between 2012 and 2018. Those reports described over 100 injuries of adults and children, including gruesome details like broken bones, torn-up faces, and shattered teeth.
