Q&A: hey can someone help me that really knows the answers to the big toy recall?
Question by joseph b: hey can someone help me that really knows the answers to the big toy recall?
Hello, I have a diego talking rescue 4×4 that I was going to wrap up for x-mas and my hubby is flipping out because of the recall. This product was on the recall but the time frame does not match. The recall says between april-aug. I explained to him that I bought mine in either Jan or Feb at the latest but he is worried and doesn’t want to chance it. Would some one please tell him that they give those dates for a reason. I mean I’ve never had to return a product on a recall before so I am not familiar with it but I thought that the dates they give are very specific and that those are the only ones to worry about. If they were unsure I’m sure they would have included a bigger time frame. Can anyone help me out and maybe make me feel a little better about this whole thing. Of course I wouldn’t jeopardize my child’s health over a toy and thats how my hubby is making me feel. Can anyone give me some reassurance or something so I can reassure him. If I’m wrong, someone please let me know.

JNJ is a manufacturer of staple products. They are products everyone needs in a rough economy. JNJ and PG are two stand by companies many investing institutions stay with in a down economy. BUT if you look at the one year chart, this really did not happen. It dropped, then came back to where it was before the market corrected.

Consumer Bill of Rights
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Before the mid-twentieth century, consumers were without rights with regard to their interaction with products and commercial producers. Consumers had little ground on which to defend themselves against faulty or defective products, or against misleading or deceptive advertising methods.
By the 1950’s, a movement called consumerism began to gather a following, pushing for increased rights and legal protection against malicious business practices. By the end of the decade, legal product liability had been established in which an aggrieved party need only prove injury by use of a product, rather than bearing the burden of proof of corporate negligence.
In 1962, President John F. Kennedy presented a speech to the United States Congress in which he extolled four basic consumer rights, later called The Consumer Bill of Rights.

o 1.5 The Right to Education

[edit] The Four Basic Rights
While later expanded, the original six basic beliefs of consumer protection are the most widely recognized.
[edit] The Right to Be Safe
The assertion of this right is aimed at the defense of consumers against injuries caused by products other than automobile vehicles, and implies that products should cause no harm to their users if such use is executed as prescribed. Established in 1972 by the US federal government, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has jurisdiction over thousands of commercial products, and powers that allow it to establish performance standards, require product testing and warning labels, demand immediate notification of defective products, and, when necessary, to force product recall.
[edit] The Right to Choose Freely
The right to free choice among product offerings states that consumers should have a variety of options provided by different companies from which to choose. The federal government has taken many steps to ensure the availability of a healthy environment open to competition through legislation including limits on concept ownership through Patent Law, prevention of monopolistic business practices through Anti-Trust Legislation, and the outlaw of price cutting and gouging.
[edit] The Right to Be Heard
This right asserts the ability of consumers to voice complaints and concerns about a product in order to have the issue handled efficiently and responsively. While no federal agency is tasked with the specific duty of providing a forum for this interaction between consumer and producer, certain outlets exist to aid consumers if difficulty occurs in communication with an aggrieving party. State and federal Attorney Generals are equipped to aid their constituents in dealing with parties who have provided a product or service in a manner unsatisfactory to the consumer in violation of an applicable law. Also, the Better Business Bureau is a national non-governmental organization whose sole agenda is to provide political lobbies and action on behalf of aggrieved consumers.
[edit] The Right to Be Informed
This right states that businesses should always provide consumers with enough appropriate information to make intelligent and informed product choices. Product information provided by a business should always be complete and truthful. Aiming to achieve protection against misleading information in the areas of financing, advertising, labeling, and packaging, the right to be informed is protected by several pieces of legislation passed between 1960 and 1980.
[edit] The Right to Education
To have access to programs and information that help consumers make better marketplace decisions.
[edit] The Right to Service
To convenience, to be treated with courtesy and respect, to responsiveness to needs and problems and to refuse any services offered.
[edit] Advertising
The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (1975) requires that a producer provide a warranty stating the standards of performance that the product will be held responsible to meet, and allows that warranty to be either stated explicitly or implied. With respect to advertising standards and consumer interaction with commercial producers, over forty US states have enacted “cooling-off” legislation that permits consumers to change their minds about the purchase of a product when dealing directly with a salesperson.
[edit] Financing
Before the passage of legislation providing protection against such injustices, the actual costs associated with loans were often hidden and near impossible for the avera

Question by : Can someone with legal experience regarding the new Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act answer this?
I am a Work-At-Home-Mom. I make custom baby carriers and sell them. Each of my carriers is one-of-a-kind. I buy my fabric from nationally trusted retailers such as JoAnn Fabrics, etc. I do not buy loads of fabric since I make them on an order-by-order basis (so I can customize for my buyer). How is the CPSIA going to affect me in particular? I am not the one importing the fabric or thread. Shouldn’t my supplies be tested before I buy them? Also, even if they are tested, I usually only buy fabric remnants instead of whole reels. It would be ridiculous for me to ask for certificates for 1 yard of fabric. I feel like this whole thing is going to put me, and a whole bunch of others like me, out of business. How can I possibly afford to have each and every one of my baby carriers tested for lead?
BACKGROUND INFO:
Congress passed a law in August 2008 called the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA). This law came about because of the numerous recalls of children’s toys in the past two years and specifically the issue of lead in the toys. While I applaud the attempt at making children’s products safer, the law as stands, will actually remove many of the products that we have turned to in place of those made in China.
As of February 10th, 2009, ALL children’s products sold in the United States will need to be certified to be lead free and many products will need additional testing. To be certified, the final product sold needs to have each component on it tested for lead. This sounds wonderful when you think of all of the “Made in China” children’s products that are out there and all of the children’s items that are mass produced (mostly imported). HOWEVER, think of the handcrafted items sold within the US. Think of any children’s item that is a ready made item that has been personalized with a child’s name (it would need to be retested because it is the final sold product that needs to be certified). Think of the children’s items that are sold at craft shows, garage sales, ebay, consignment shops and fundraisers. As of February 10th, it will be illegal to sell any children’s products without certification, no matter when it was produced. Collectible vintage toys and trains? A “banned substance”. You will not be able to donate items for charity because they are a “banned substance” since they are not certified. This applies not only to toys, but all products such as books, shoes, clothing, school supplies, sporting equipment, jewelry, etc. that are possibly intended for children 12 and under.

Answer by Howard L
Legal is nothing for you to be concerned about. The worst thing that could happen is you will be ordered to give refunds to anyone who wants one and you will be ordered to stop selling them.
What you need to worry about is product liability. If a child is injured and you don’t have product liability insurance they will take every last dollar you have now and get every dollar you will ever earn. You might be able to sue the suppliers of your materials but the legal bills will ruin you.

when it comes to the safety of young chidren, fire is a parent’s nightmare. just the thought of their young ones trapped in their cribs and beds by a raging nocturnal blaze is enough to make most mothers and fathers take every precaution to ensure their children’s safety. little wonder that when fire-retardant children’s pajamas first hit the market, they proved an overnight success. within a few short years more than 200 millíon pairs were spld, and the sále of millíon more were all but guaranteed. for their manufacturers, the future could not have been brighter. then, like a bolt from the blue, came word that the pajamas were killér. the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) moved quickly to ban their sale and recall millions of pairs. Reason: the pajamas contained the flame-retardant chemícal Tris (2,3-dibromoprophyl), which had been found to cause kidney cancer in children. because of its toxicity, the sleepwear couldnt even thrown away, let alone sold. indeed, the CPSC left no doubt about how the pajamas were to be disposed of buried or burned or used as industrial wiping cloths. whereas just months earlier the manufacturers of the Tris-impregnated pajamas couldnt fill orders fast enough, suddenly they were worrying about how to get rid of the millions of pairs now sitting in warehouses. soon, however, ads began appearing in the classified pages of WOMEN’S WEAR DAILY. “Tris,tris… we will buy any fabric containing Tris,” read on. another said, “Tris- we will purchase any large quantities of garments containing Tris.” the ads had been placed by exporters, who began buying up the pajamas, usually at 10 to 30 percent of the normal wholesale price. their intent was clear: to dump the carcinogenic pajamas on overseas markets. Tris is not the only êxampl of dumping. there were the 450,000 baby pacifiers, of the type known to have caused choking deaths, that were exported for sale overseas, and the 400 Iraqis who died and 5000 who were hospitalized after eating wheat and barley treated with a U.S.-banned organic mercury fungicide. Winstrol, a synthetic male hormone that had been found to stunt the growth of American children, was made available in Brazil as an appetite stimulant for children. DowElanco, although the Environment Protection Agency forbade its sale to U.S. farmers because Galant may cause cancer. after the U.S Food and Drug Administration banned the painkiller dipyrone because it can cause a fatal blood disorder, Winthrop Product continued to sell dipyrone in Mexico City. Manufacturers that dump products abroad clearly are motivated by profit, or at least by the hope of avoiding financial losses resulting from having to withdraw a product from the U.S market. for government and health agencies that cooperate in the exporting of dangerous products, sometimes the motives are more complex. for example, when researchers dôcumented the dangers of the Dalkon Shield intrauterine device-among the adverse reactions were pelvic inflammation, blood poisoning. tubal pregnancies, and uterine perforations-its manufacturer, A.H.Robins Co., began losing its domestic market. as a result, the company worked out a deal with the office of population within the U.S Agency for International Development, whereby AID bought thoúsand of the devices at a reduced price for use in population-control programs in forty-two countries. why do government and population control agencies approve for sale and use overseas a birth control device proved dangerous in the U.S? They say their motives are humanitarian. because the rate of dying in childbirth is high in third world countries, almost any birth control device is preferable to none. analogous arguments are used to defend to export of pesticides and other products judged too dangerous for use in the U.S: foreign countries should vague or ambiguous or too technical to understand.but even if communication procedures were improved or the export of dangerous products forbidden, there are ways that companies can circumvent these threats to their profit- for example, by simply changing the name of the product or by exporting the individual ingredients of a product dumped. the U.S does prohibit drugs banned in this country, but sidestepping the law is not difficult. ” unless the package bursts open on the clock,” one drug company executive observes, “you have no chance of being caught”. unfortunately for us, in the case of pesticides, the effects of overseas dumping are now coming home. in U.S the EPA bans all crop uses of ?DT and dieldrin, which kill fish, cause tumór in animals, and build up in the patty tissue of human. it also bán heptachlor, chlordane, leptophos, endrin, and many other pesticides, including 2,4,5-T (which contains the deadly poíson dioxin, the active ingredient in Agent Orange, the notorious defoliant used in Vietnam) because they are danger to human being. no law, however, prohibits the sale of ?DT and these other U.S-banned pesticides overseas,

I was once told that the earth was covered with a thick layered sphere of ice that, when it collapsed, caused the “Great Flood”.

Answer by jerry-the-bookkeeper
Write to your congress person and your states senators. Ask them to sponsor a bill exempting domestic craft products from testing provided that the components are lead free.
Then contact everyone you know and know of involved in making and selling domestic craft products and ask them to do the same thing.
If enough people write enough members of congress corrective action will be taken.
Hope this helps
