Consumer safety bill would abolish FDA and create CSA
The proposed consumer protection bill would abolish the Food and Drug Administration and replace it with an independent Consumer Safety Agency with broad powers. It would repeal existing product safety laws, set up a czar-led CSA, and impose fines or jail terms for noncompliance, marking a major shift in federal oversight. Senator Warren Magnuson calls it a real battle as the plan develops.
