Issue number nine on NCSL's Top 10 Issues Forecast is Protecting the Consumer.
Outbreaks in 2007 of contaminated spinach, peanut butter, and pet food led consumers to be wary of our food safety system. In addition, the recalls of toys from China and the Consumer Product Safety Council's inability to protect consumers from these products created even more concern.
We sit down with NCSL's Doug Farquhar (4:14) to discuss how states are looking at tightening the law surrounding sales of products with lead and what is happening on the federal level with this issue.
