Make Manufacturers Pay for Recalled and Defective Products
We’d like to believe that the federal Consumer Product Safety Commission has our back, protecting us from hazardous products that can lead to serious injury or death. Unfortunately, that is not always the case. The federal government’s patchwork approach to consumer safety means that defective products injure countless people each year.
While the Consumer Product Safety Commission does oversee some products, the following agencies oversee others:
- U.S. Department of Agriculture: Responsible for eggs, meat, and poultry
- U.S. Food and Drug Administration: Responsible for food products, animal food products, drugs, tobacco, cosmetics, alcohol, and medical products
- National Highway Transportation Safety Administration: Responsible for motor vehicles, tires, and car seats
At any given time, there are hundreds of products that are under recall. These can range from ductless heat pumps to infant car seats to automotive tires. A child’s nightgown may violate federal flammability standards, a chest of drawers may easily tip over and entrap children, or a golf cart may be prone to catching fire.
