Consumer Protection: Liability for defective products |
Liability for products and services other than foods, drugs, guns and medical care.
12/20/07 Tis' the season to be...careful:. American Christmas consumerism is faced with the prospect that the toys bought for children, Chinese imports or otherwise, contain hazards that are far from being dealt with by the country's weak "product safety" regulations. This situation is part of a larger decline in consumer protection that puts the U.S. far down the list of nations in which serious attention is given to consumer safety issues. http://www.alternet.org/story/71031/

Product analysts are noting that children's toys are increasingly incorporating the use of phthalates: substances that help make toys squeezable and suckable. One problem is that these substances tend to "impede the production of testosterone and disrupt the sexual development of infant boys." This may be good news for the future of Pfizer and its Viagra sales, but not necessarily that of American men and boys http://www.thenation.com/doc/20071105/schapiro
