Yes. Selling toys with lead based paint is against the law. It is against the law because we NOW know of the health effects in ingesting lead.
I fail to see the complaint on this issue.
You seem to be declaring yourself, or perhaps the regulators, clairvoyant or all knowledgable in that all their public pronouncements are infallable. .
It is not self regulating on any real level.
| No. You need to follow the flow of the thread. I was responding to the assertion that no business would dare endanger it's existence by offering up a product that would lead to customers abandoning the business. They did, as you have said. And this goes to prove my point that laws absent enforcement and inspection mean nothing. The lead paint was illegal. It was not found because we did not effectively test or enforce. The law can not be clarvoiyant, but it can be effective at stopping future abuse. To do that, it must be enforced. To enforce, you have to provide a reasonable means of ensuring compliance. In many cases, that means inspection.
All I see when I look down, something jumpin' on the ground, Scratchin' dirt, cluckin' in the barnyard -
Tell me, could that be you?
