With a new Administration, there are inevitably implications for the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission including new leadership, funding levels and priorities. What will new leadership look like and mean for the CPSC? What do changes in the makeup of the House and Senate mean for product safety efforts? What are the priorities of stakeholder groups? What is the best way to achieve product safety goals in this new era? Participants in this plenary will include experts who represent all segments of the product safety community.
