WASHINGTON, D.C. – I congratulate Brien Lorenze on his nomination to serve as a Commissioner of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. I am grateful to President Trump for his continued support of CPSC and commitment to appointing experienced, results-oriented public servants to positions of public trust.
Brien has distinguished himself as a thoughtful leader, trusted advisor, and dedicated public servant. As Executive Director of CPSC, he has helped guide the Commission through a period of significant modernization while maintaining a steadfast commitment to our core mission of protecting American consumers.
Brien possesses a rare combination of policy expertise, operational acumen, and sound judgment. He understands the Commission's work from the ground up, values the contributions of career staff, and has consistently demonstrated a willingness to tackle difficult challenges in service of the American people. The agency is stronger today because of his efforts.
American families will benefit from Brien’s experience, integrity, and dedication to consumer protection. I am grateful for his counsel and friendship. I look forward to continuing our work together and wish him every success during the confirmation process.
About the U.S. CPSC
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risk of injury associated with the use of thousands of types of consumer products. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product-related incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually. Since the CPSC was established more than 50 years ago, it has worked to ensure the safety of consumer products, which has contributed to a decline in injuries associated with these products.
Federal law prohibits any person from selling products subject to a Commission ordered recall or a voluntary recall undertaken in consultation with the CPSC.
