Why is Exxon Blocking the Toy Safety Bill?
Eleventh-hour
demands from Exxon-Mobil and the toy industry are threatening our
top-priority product safety reform law. In 2007, more than 45 million
toys and children’s products were recalled because of dangerous
magnets, unsafe levels of toxic lead and choking hazards. In response,
both the House and Senate overwhelmingly passed legislation to reform
and strengthen the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). Now,
special interest demands to remove or weaken key reform provisions are
preventing the bill from reaching the president.
