Fisher-Price: Caught Red-handed, But Still Peddling Lead
By Ed Mierzwinski, Federal Consumer Program Director, PRG
It's
one thing to have state pride, but quite another to have state bias
when it comes to protecting kids from unsafe toys. Apparently,
Fisher-Price is stepping up and recalling unsafe toys…but only for
their customers in Illinois.
After Consumer Reports magazine and the Attorney General of Illinois found that a red Fisher-Price toy blood pressure cuff contained lead at 7 to 9 times the legal limits in Illinois, Fisher-Price agreed to recall it.
But only in Illinois.
Until
we strengthen federal law, we need to convince Fisher-Price to recall
the lead-laced toys nationwide. While we are at it, we want them to
take our Corporate Safety Challenge.
Please take a moment and urge Fisher-Price to recall the lead laden toy everywhere .
Fisher-Price
is the first corporation we're directly challenging to sign on to our
Corporate Safety Challenge. It's one way that we're holding
corporations directly accountable for the products they sell. The more
e-mails they get from you, the more likely they are to act, so click on the link and also forward this e-mail along to others to take action.

THIS GUY NEVER TAKES RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANYTHING…MOVE ON! VOTE FOR ANYONE ELSE!
“Barack Obama continues his hard-edged, negative campaign – against his own staff. Passing blame down to anonymous staff ranks has become something of a tic for Obama. Obama pointed the finger at unidentified campaign schedulers when he had to address a New Hampshire firefighters union by telephone, instead of meeting with them in person. Obama told the gathering. “My staff had scheduled things and “they” couldn't wiggle out if it. And after media attention turned to the “Hillary Clinton Obama's campaign was producing bogus research memos/statements about Clinton's such as lies about having ties to the Indian-American community, Obama called the “unnecessarily caustic” document a “dumb mistake on our campaign's part” HE STARTED THE LIES AND NEGATIVE POLITICS…A former cocaine junkie and muslim. WE DO NOT WANT THIS GUY LEADING OUR GREAT COUNTRY; MAYBE LEAD HARPO PRODUCTIONS, SINCE HES OPRAHS DREAM…
