Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Rosa L. DeLauro (Conn. -3) issued the following statement on President Obama's nominations on Inez Moore Tenenbaum to chair Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Robert S. Adler as a new commissioner of the CPSC, as well as his plans to strengthen the CPSC by expanding the panel from three commissioners to five.

"I applaud the appointments of Inez Tenenbaum and Robert Adler to serve at the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Their experience and leadership on consumer protection issues will help the CPSC to implement fairly the important product safety law that was enacted last year.
