CPSC Gives "Sweet-Heart" Deal to Mattel for Lead Paint Tests for Children's Toys

The Consumer Products Safety Commission has quietly granted Matel a request to have Mattel's own testing labs test for lead paints under new Federal Laws which were promoted by recalls of items containing lead paint.

In other words, the fox is being allowed to watch the chicken coop. Parents everywhere should feel outraged by this action. As a parent, do you trust Matel to conduct it's own self-testing? From the company that placed the health and safety of millions of children at risk? Lead toys are defective. Yet, Matel sold these defective lead toys across America.

As the parent of children and infants, one feels like screaming at the insanity. Yet, the CPSC caved on this one. Only public outrage will make the CPSC see the error of their ways.

The problem here is funding. People want save toys. Problem is the CPSC has so many products to oversee. The reality is this. The CPSC can not do this alone. The real teeth in product safety in America has never been the CPSC. Instead, it is producl liability lawsuits. The real enforcer of safety in America is not the government. The real enforcer of product safety in America is the American jury.

Product safety lawyers in California and across America do more to keep Americans safe than any governement agency can and will ever do. Product Liability attorneys keep us all safe.
