Toy makers seek a little oversight

If I were the Toy Companies, I would be also concerned about the sales over this Holiday Season. They Made they beds, They must live by their decisions and do what's right. They should be held accountable, and I do believe the Gov't should step in and set some standards fast.


The Toy Industry Association is asking the government to set safety-testing standards for all toys sold in the U.S., in a bid to restore consumer confidence. U.S. toy makers are worried that anger over recent recalls of dangerous toys will hurt sales in the crucial Christmas season. "If the consumer is aware that the government has some responsibility and is holding companies responsible, it will set their minds at ease," said toy executive Jeff Holtzman. Congress is investigating Mattel's policies for informing regulators about hazardous toys. (Reuters)
