Newly released documents show the head of the Consumer Product Safety Commission and her predecessor have taken dozens of free trips paid for by key industries the agency regulates. According to The Washington Post, acting chair Nancy Nord and the previous chairman, Hal Stratton, have taken nearly 30 trips paid for by lobbyists or manufacturers in toys, appliances and children’s furniture. Some of the trips were funded by lobby groups and lawyers accused of consumer hazards.
