Dana Baiocco

Dana is a seasoned litigator in other commercial contexts, including deceptive business practices, competition, construction, mining and machinery, aviation, and component parts manufacturing. She works with clients in many regulated industries.

As one of five CPSC commissioners, Dana contributed to the agency’s overall policy agenda and operational plan and participated in rule-making proceedings, voted on dangerous product bans, and prompted other regulatory actions related to the manufacture, sale, and distribution of consumer products. She and fellow commissioners oversaw, imposed, and/or authorized investigations and litigation, and initiated enforcement and civil penalty proceedings independently or in conjunction with the US Department of Justice.

Dana uses her policy and consumer product litigation experience to counsel clients on strategies relating to products and manufacturing, internal and government investigations, safety auditing, and creating and implementing related compliance programs. She collaborates with numerous practice areas to advise clients on regulatory and investigative issues and information disclosures.

Before joining the CPSC, Dana was a partner in the business and tort litigation practice at another global law firm.
