Critics said US regulators should be able to enforce product recalls, rather than just request them.
A law – Section 6(b) of the Consumer Product Safety Act – prevents regulators from enforcing recalls and lets manufacturers restrict information released by regulators if there is a problem with a product. The new bill introduced Thursday aims to revoke that section of the law.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal, one of the three lawmakers to introduce the new bill, said in a statement Thursday that current laws allow companies to call the shots on how and when to notify the public about their hazardous products, keeping important safety information from the public.
