Fired CPSC commissioner tells President Trump, "See you in court"

Rich Trumka Jr., a commissioner of the Consumer Product Safety Commission until he was fired by President Trump on Thursday, said in a letter that his dismissal is illegal and that he plans to fight the action. 

"See you in court, Mr. President," Trumka wrote in a May 9 social media post that included a statement using the CPSC's official letterhead in which he describes his dismissal.

The CPSC is an independent agency that regulates the safety of consumer products, from toys to appliances. It's the group that often handles recalls of items such as kitchen ranges that can set fires and steam cleaners that have burned users.
