Two Democrats, RepDeluzio and RepMGP, have introduced the Shrinkflation Prevention Act to the House of Representatives to combat deceptive packaging practices by prohibiting corporations from reducing product sizes without lowering prices. The legislation aims to protect consumers' purchasing power and prevent corporations from profiting at the expense of customers. Senator Bob Casey is also advocating for the Price Gouging Prevention Act alongside the Shrinkflation Prevention Act to alleviate financial burdens on families. Senator Elizabeth Warren is actively supporting the bill to address shrinkflation and hold corporate entities accountable for their practices.
‘Chief Spends-a lot’ Elizabeth Warren ridiculed for disingenuous ‘shrinkflation’ announcement U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren was dragged on social media after reminding everyone that she is "fighting back" on the crisis of "shrinkflation." Never mind that the current disaster… https://t.co/Xue6JzAd8Q
Shrinkflation is a deceptive packaging practice that can lead to higher grocery costs. Things like more air in your chip bag, fewer sheets on the paper towel roll, or a divot under your peanut butter jar. My bill would take it on and protect your purchasing power at the store. https://t.co/cd2pYTljP9

Shrinkflation is terrible. BUT The "answer" is not more government. https://t.co/IdQTMOhGVR
Corporate executives thought we wouldn’t notice this. They were wrong. And I’m fighting back by working to pass the Shrinkflation Prevention Act. https://t.co/yupgMflt6U
Families’ budgets are already stretched too thin, they don't need greedflation and shrinkflation stretching them further. That's why I'm fighting to pass the Price Gouging Prevention Act & Shrinkflation Prevention Act.
BREAKING: Two Democrats have introduced the Shrinkflation Prevention Act to the House of Representatives. The legislation would prohibit corporations from deceptively decreasing the size of a product without lowering the price accordingly, per MorePerfectUnion.

Cookie Monster isn't wrong. Corporations keep taking from the cookie jar, and you're getting less for what you pay at the grocery store. It shouldn't be the way the cookie crumbles, so I introduced the Shrinkflation Prevention Act to put a stop to deceptive packaging practices. https://t.co/ng2Aozzu5Q
Shrinkflation is a ripoff—another way big corporations charge more for less & pad profits at our expense. It’s time to fight back. Proud to introduce the Shrinkflation Prevention Act with @repmgp to bring down costs & crack down on deceptive practices. https://t.co/nIxPopEm9t
