But it also fulfills another important function: day in, day out, the CPSC is killing it on Twitter.

The CPSC joined Twitter in January 2009, and has more 36,000 followers. That number should easily be ten times higher, given the quality of its meme work, but the regulator, like all great tweeters, pushes on regardless.
Scott Wolfson, the director of communications for the CPSC, told BuzzFeed News that Twitter has helped the agency “reach millions of people who may not get our emails or may not visit our website frequently to access safety information.”
“We are not one of the more well known federal agencies,” said Wolfson, citing NASA, which is.
“We try to do the best we can with the life saving information we put out there.”

“We’re trying to connect with consumers by being relevant, by being data driven and understanding that if you’re not visual in this culture on social media, it’s unlikely you're going to generate attention,” he said.
Wolfson said the communications team brainstorms the tweets, but one person takes the lead on social media.
“We just try to be creative and look for new opportunities,” he said.”

“We’re trying to break through with an important safety message,” said Wolfson. “We know that 50% of the fire deaths that happen in this country are in homes that don't have any working smoke alarms.”
“Commitment. Togetherness. A clean dryer vent,” read one tweet, which it nailed.

“We believe people who follow our Twitter account are safer in their home because of it we literally provide life-saving information,” said Wolfson.
