WASHINGTON, DC – Today, the National Consumers League (NCL), along with many other organizations representing a cross-section of industry and interested stakeholders, signed a letter to the chairs of both the Committee on Armed Services and the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation expressing their strong support of an amendment to combat the growing national problem of catalytic converter theft. Catalytic converters are being stolen at increasingly high rates because they contain valuable metals, such as rhodium, platinum, and palladium.

NCL’s CEO Sally Greenberg recently shared her own catalytic converter theft experience in this blog post.

The letter to the committees can be found here.
