Challenge Corporate America To Do Better On Product Safety

Corporate America is dropping the ball when it comes to making sure the products we use every day are safe. 

More recalls aren't the answer -- we need to make sure that both corporations and our government are doing their job to ensure our products are safe before they hit store shelves.

To sign on to the Corporate Safety Challenge, fill out the form below:

U.S. PIRG's Corporate Safety Challenge

I want CEOs to: 

1.  Test products: Use the same standards as the CPSC, FDA, NHTSA and other regulators. Allow an independent, third-party lab to verify the tests.
 
2.  Eliminate dangerous chemicals: Ban dangerous chemicals like lead and phthalates and over time replace the toxic chemicals in all products with safe alternatives.
 
3. Stop blocking stronger rules and enforcement: Stop opposing needed reforms.
 
And to guarantee that all corporations do the right thing, I want Congress to:
 
* Put more cops on the beat: Hire more inspectors and give government agencies more authority to punish companies that break the rules.

* Stiffer penalties: Increase fines from $1.8 million to $100 million to deter companies from cutting corners.


We want CEOs and our government to ensure our products are safe before they hit store shelves!
