Description:

A debate that sparked almost six months ago after numerous incidents, still nothing drastic has been done to change our policy towards hazardous imported toys. I believe that most of us feel that dangerous toys should be screened out BEFORE being available to consumers, not after. The entire recall process is reactive and not proactive. Even once a recall is issued, it has very limited effectiveness as we depend on retail stores to remove the items from shelves. 

Join me in this petition to US Congress, that voices the opinion that the true burden here MUST be on manufacturers and retailers, NOT the consumers. We need to identify these known problems before products enter the marketplace. We must make these manufacturers submit to consumer demand, if they refuse - they should not be operating in this country.

yes and lets make our own toys in usa

That would make them cost a fortune.

I agree with you toys for especially small children should be tested for lead and other toxic substences as well toys that are badly designed and have small parts that could break off. These are choking hazards for small children. The bad toys should be examined and tested out before they reach the market.

I think maybe they should give them to child or maybe a older person who can think like a small child that is watched carfully in labs and test it like that before they give them to kids, because I dont think any toys were put out with the knowlegde that they are bad prior to market

Most toys arent originally known to be hazardous. In fact, just about every toy could be hazardous.
