President Donald Trump has fired the Consumer Product Safety Commission's three Democratic members without cause.

The Office of Management and Budget has suggested the responsibilities of the CPSC should be folded into "a nonexistent division within the Department of Health and Human Services ," according to a joint letter from lawmakers.

Commissioner Mary Boyle and Richard Trumka Jr. received emails on May 8 informing them they'd been fired.
