Earlier this week some key members of the United States Senate decided that if lead had no place in gas or paint, it probably shouldn’t be in children’s toys.
While there were several members of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation who didn’t support legislation to increase funding for the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and ban lead in toys, enough members did to send the bill to the full Senate for consideration.
The bill will also put the ‘Consumer†back in the CPSC by better protecting whistleblowers and more aggressively going after those industry big shots who knowingly break the laws that are in place to protect the consumer. Chalk one up for the people.
