Q&A: Can someone with legal experience regarding the new Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act answer this?
Question by littlesnugglebuggles: 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 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

Answer by Aaron
You don’t give much on details. But personally, if I owned a DVD that was recalled, my expectations would be that they provide shipping to and from my home, and a very quick replacement at no additional cost. Also a quick, “sorry to inconveniece” you letter signed by the president of the company.
my 2 cents… hopefully this is the type of response you were looking for.

Q&A: Who should be blamed for the toys and other chinese product recall conundrum?
Question by voodoogirl_w: Who should be blamed for the toys and other chinese product recall conundrum?
Obviously Chinese manufactures will be blamed and punished for what had happened, and they should be. However, The US companies did make gazillion dollars because of those low-cost-high-profit cheap products. What happened to the product quality control before putting the product on the shelves? There are the Chinese government, US government, exporter, importer, the company itself, and the retail store between the Chinese manufactures and consumers.

Is Hydroxycut caffeine free product safe for consumer consumption?
Question by Joey d: Is Hydroxycut caffeine free product safe for consumer consumption?
I have read that many Hydroxycut products are being recalled because of health problems, such as liver damage, and other side effects, which occurred during around the same time the products were used.My question is whether Hydroxycut Caffeine Free, is safe for use? I was told it is not being recalled.

Answer by Shoeshine
Uh no. What do you mean is it safe? Will it kill you on the spot? Probably not… will it kill you slowly, cause rapid aging, and probably cause organ failure in the future? Yeah.
Why on earth would anybody think riding your body of water is harmless. Can you say ow my liver and kidneys?
Everything you do kills you. Breathing slowly oxidizes your cells. We all die. You want to die more painfully, more rapidly, and become more impaired in your last years of life. Take more quick fix products. Safe is a joke… anything that you take into your body is going to interact with it, for every positive there is seriously a negative. You get skinny because you have no water in your body? Cool, you’ll be skinny as you develop wrinkles and diseases, and you’ll die faster and harder.

Q&A: Calculating if you should do a Product Recall or not?
Question by Ryan R: Calculating if you should do a Product Recall or not?
Hey groups
What I am searching for is a guide/calculation/equation
that assess if you should do a product recall.
I guess is would encompass risk, cost, whether a problem can be rectified etc
I assume in some cases a manufacturer may be aware of problem due to
complaints to the company, but do they recall or do they become prepared
for complaints and rectifying the problems on an ad-hoc basis?
‘Science’ behind the decision making process basically
Any advice / suggestions / URLs appreciated
TIA

What is the trigger that requires a company to issue a product recall?
Question by Neptune221: What is the trigger that requires a company to issue a product recall?
I have a Maytag MIF2568AES Model Stainless Steel Refrigerator, whose ice-water control panel is suddenly decided to start blinking uncontrollably with the ice-flap opening and closing every few seconds. This malfunction prevents cooling in the fridge and freezer. Annoying problem, and as it turns out from a quick Internet search, not remotely an isolated problem. The HV Board is defective and needs to be replaced. Sounds like on most EVERY fridge, but I do not know the percentages–but it sounds like the refrigerator is designed to survive the warranty period–then puff.
My question is–what exactly triggers a product recall? I am baffled one has not already been issued for this (problem seems to have been in widespread existence for at least 6 months). Related to that, since I will have to have it repaired, are companies that issue recalls typically required to reimburse people who have already repaired, at least for parts? Especially when there own repair people were used?
Best answer:
Answer by BR
Companies usually issue a recall in one of two event. (1) When there is a serious safety issue. (2) When they preceive they will receive substantial negative publicity from a defect.
