Today the House is considering, HR 4040, the Consumer Product Safety Modernization Act. The bill creates the TOUGHEST lead standard in the world for children's products, requires mandatory safety standards for nursery products (e.g., cribs and high chairs) and after review for toys, requires mandatory third-party testing of children's products, requires tracking labels to aid recalls, prohibits the sale and export of recalled products, improves public notice, protects rights of injured consumers to sue bad actors, strengthens the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and provides CPSC with urgently needed resources, and bans travel by CPSC Commissioners and staff that is paid for by an organization regulated by the CPSC.

  • Exactly what we're doing here is punishing EVERY small business who can't afford to do LEAD based testing, even though 99.9% of their products couldn't possibly contain lead. How stupid is this? The problem comes 99% from China and cheap toy manufacturing that we've shipped overseas because liberal lawmakers have made it financially imprudent to make toys here. And now, let's not offend the Chinese by "discriminating" against their toys alone... oh no... we have to PUNISH EVERYONE! MORONS!

  • Who is this crackpot? Why was this idiot elected? Doesn't she have any idea that what she's asking for puts ANY small home-based toy or child's clothing business out of business? Doesn't she realize this HURTS America and her children?

    CRAWL back under your rock with the other short-sighted liberal idiots who don't want to be free anymore. This response is the same political correctness BS that the airlines did after 9/11. PUNISH everyone by NOT restricting ourselves to racial profiling.

  • WE THE PEOPLE, DEMAND IMPEACHMENT BACK on the TABLE, ANY TABLE, but "BRING IT ON"

    Impeach the God Dammed CRIMINALS!!!

    Impeach the God Dammed CRIMINALS!!!

    STOP FUNDING the IRAQ DISASTER!!!

    STOP FUNDING the IRAQ DISASTER!!!

    Enough with "Stay the Course"...enough with "New DIRECTION". Just STOP funding this nonsense and GOD DAMMIT, just DO IT!!!
