E. Coli Conservatism: Bush & The Mattel Toys

6:46 pm EST August 14th, 2007 | News | Comments Off

Michael Baroody is the guy the Bush administration wanted in charge of the Consumer Product Safety Commision, under whose jurisdiction lies the current problem with lead-tainted toys:

• Opposed a CPSC Proposal to improve safety standards for baby walkers. Instead, NAM blamed parents for improperly supervising their children.

• Opposed trying to improve the system by which consumers learn about recalls of potentially dangerous children’s products.

• Lobbied to weaken the guidelines that companies used to determine whether they must report substantial product hazards; and

• Lobbied New York Governor George Pataki to veto legislation that mandated fire safe cigarettes.
