Should there/are there laws about selling recalled food?

Question by Beka E: Should there/are there laws about selling recalled food?

With the recent recall of peanut related products, I am left wondering what would happen to a business that continued to sell the contaminated product? Do you think there should be laws with potential fines or jail time for shop owners who continue to sell these products?
In example: there is a small corner store in my town just outside Baltimore City. The shop owner is strange and I doubt he is aware that there are recalls on peanut related products and if he does know about the recall I highly doubt that he would throw away any of his merch. I also don’t think he gets his stuff from a distributor, more like a Costco shopper. I still see peanut butter crackers, sports bars etc… on his shelves. if this makes someone sick they could die. Sol what I want to know is, Is it the consumers responsibility or should the retailer be held responsible for selling recalled product?

I think that stupid spinner belt sucks!

Best answer:

Answer by Tox
I think the spinner WWE Championship is cool…

…WHILE JOHN CENA IS CHAMPION!

I always thought of it as how Steve Austin had the Smokin’ Skull WWE Championship when he was champ. When he lost it, it went back to the then-original WWE Title. The same should be done for the spinner belt. It was funny when Edge won it and put the Rated-R Superstar logo on it, but Randy Orton looks retarded carrying it around.

Question by Still Beautifully Conservative: Good morning. What should be done about all those defective products we receive from China?

With the recent recalls from the Mattel Corporation of their toys and other things, should we boycott them?

Or demand Mattel (or any other company for that matter) to keep a closer eye on how their toys and products are produced in China?

Or demand that they start producing their products here in the US and we, the consumer, pay the higher price for them?

All thoughts on this matter are gratefully appreciated.

Q&A: Should the government legislate the size and shape of a hot dog?

consumer product recalls
by Public Citizen

Question by The Fed Up Matthewβ„’: Should the government legislate the size and shape of a hot dog?

Yes this is a serious question believe it or not.

******************************************************************
Pediatricians call for a choke-proof hot dog

Nutritionists have long warned of the perils of hot dogs: fat, sodium and preservatives to name a few.

Now, the American Academy of Pediatrics wants foods like hot dogs to come with a warning label β€” not because of their nutritional risks but because they pose a choking hazard to babies and children.

Better yet, the academy would like to see foods such as hot dogs “redesigned” so their size, shape and texture make them less likely to lodge in a youngster’s throat. More than 10,000 children under 14 go to the emergency room each year after choking on food, and up to 77 die, says the new policy statement, published online today in Pediatrics. About 17% of food-related asphyxiations are caused by hot dogs.

“If you were to take the best engineers in the world and try to design the perfect plug for a child’s airway, it would be a hot dog,” says statement author Gary Smith, director of the Center for Injury Research and Policy at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. “I’m a pediatric emergency doctor, and to try to get them out once they’re wedged in, it’s almost impossible.”

The Consumer Product Safety Commission requires labels on toys with small parts alerting people not to give them to kids under 3. Yet there are no required warnings on food, though more than half of non-fatal choking episodes involve food, Smith says.

“No parents can watch all of their kids 100% of the time,” Smith says. “The best way to protect kids is to design these risks out of existence.”

Though Smith says he doesn’t know exactly how someone would redesign a hot dog, he’s certain that some savvy inventor will find a way.

Janet Riley, president of the National Hot Dog & Sausage Council, supports the academy’s call to better educate parents and caregivers about choking prevention. “Ensuring the safety of the foods we service to children is critically important for us,” Riley says.

But Riley questions whether warning labels are needed. She notes that more than half of hot dogs sold in stores already have choking-prevention tips on their packages, advising parents to cut them into small pieces. “As a mother who has fed toddlers cylindrical foods like grapes, bananas, hot dogs and carrots, I ‘redesigned’ them in my kitchen by cutting them with a paring knife until my children were old enough to manage on their own,” Riley says.

The Food and Drug Administration, which has authority to recall products it considers “unfit for food,” plans to review the new statement, spokeswoman Rita Chappelle says.

Given the health risks of obesity, pediatrician Alan Greene, author of Feeding Baby Green, says, “The last thing we need is to redesign candy and junk food with cool shapes, so we can give them to kids even younger.”

Q&A: who thinks the government should be allowed to tax religious estabalishments?

consumer product recalls
by Public Citizen

Question by cosi: who thinks the government should be allowed to tax religious estabalishments?

they do have incomes and there are tax write offs for donations of sorts and they are succeptable. they offer a product, market it, and defend product recalls in court (ie. child molesting priests) that its consumers buy with the belief that those actions are not part of the package that they give money to. if merck had said vioxx will kill half of you and help the other half and where allowed to continue to stock shelves with their product, they would face unsurmountable taxations where they would no longer find it profitable to continue producing the drug.

Best answer:

Answer by sexie1949
when we are taxed i do belive everyone even all religious should be taxed. even the people who are not from our country that come here should be taxed. that way we wouldn’t be in the red for our country at any time !
