On May 22, 2018 the Senate voted to confirm Dana Baiocco as the newest Commissioner on the CPSC. She replaces Democrat Marietta Robinson and her seven year term expires in October 2024. Ms. Baiocco was a partner at Jones Day and has signficant consumer product experience. Of import, Ms. Baiocco’s confirmation shifts the Commssion to Republican control. We expect to see an impact in the areas of rule-making and penalties.
