WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) – chairman of the U.S. Senate Commerce Subcommittee on Consumer Protection, Product Safety, Insurance, and Data Security – today issued the following statement after the Senate voted to confirm Peter Feldman to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC):

“As a longtime advisor to the Senate Commerce Committee, Peter’s wide array of experience in issues before the CPSC and his dedication to protecting American consumers make him an excellent choice for this position. Peter’s necessary addition to the CPSC will help the agency refocus its efforts on advancing sound regulatory principles in protecting consumers from dangerous products. I am grateful for Peter’s steady counsel and his service in the Senate, and I look forward to working with him in his new role.”
