Comments on: Feds Urge Vigilance When Toy Shopping

Consumer Product Safety Commission Tells Parents To Stay Informed Of Recalls And Hazards

[displeased]

No projectile toys or riding toys? In other words, no FUN!

I noticed the government didn''t mention horses or pitbulls or stray cats. Aren''t they toys that are a danger to society?

[glossypan]

The absolute epitome of arrogance.
The CPSC has shirked their responsibility and now urges consumers to vigilance.
Can you say malfeasance?

Now, we know the rest of the story. The un-regulated invisible hand of capitalism can kill and has. Why do we pay these regulators in the Bush/Cheney mis-administration of anything goes. Now the consumer will probably have to buy testing kits to determine if a product is safe. I wonder if any of those brown shirts that have left through the revolving door are working for those companies that are making dangerous products?? Maybe they have opened start-up companies for kits to test products???? un-regulated capitalism=Fascist Capitalism.

I thought part of why we paid TAXES was to have a government that protected the people through inspections and regulations. Great what 7 years of repug rule have done to this country.

"We want parents to understand that earlier this year when we realized that there was a violation of lead paint in the system, we did a top-to-bottom real inspection of the toys on the shelves," Vallese told The Early Show.


Check!! This is the Corporate Bimbo Bush hired to protect you and our kids from toys. She''s the one who''s been taking kick back''s like trips, fully paid, and a lot of other goodies... She''s also the one who turned down additional funding for an agency that can''t even test a small fraction of what we get on our shelves. She needs to go to JAIL along with her boss!! Sieg Heil Bush.

Not buying toys made in China is one option but a lot of blame must also go to the lax quality controls that the our manufacturers and retailers have exhibited in the name of boosting their bottom lines

Buy books. If they''re made in America.

All of this could be avoided if we JUST STOP BUYING *** FROM CHINA. End of discussion.

Send a vigilant message by not buying any toys this year.
