Sick and tired of recalls? Tell the companies responsible for them

Holy recalls, Batman! What's with all the dangerous products?
Mattel's
Batman action figure was recalled because the toy had loosely attached
magnets that kids could swallow, causing major health problems.
Earlier
this week, we asked you to sign our petition asking Corporate America
to do better. More than 2,500 of you did! Please add your name today
and then forward this link if you've got friends concerned about this
issue.

(Apologies to those of you who had problems with the link earlier in the week. We have fixed those problems with the link.)
If
it seems that more products are being recalled these days, you're
right. So far this year, manufacturers have recalled an estimated 25
million dangerous toys, 60 million pounds of pet food and 1 million
pounds of spinach. And the numbers keep growing.
We've
launched the Corporate Safety Challenge to demand that corporations do
better. To join us in our campaign, click on the link below and then
forward this to your friends and family.
