There's been an unprecedented number of toy recalls this year.

there's got to be a way to stop that from happening.

Has it been of the extent that you would need to revamp a lab like this?

It's time to change our current system of voluntary guidelines, use the force of law, and have an actual, Federal standard.

This was preventable. This little boy should never have had that charm in the first place.

I've introduced two pieces of legislation that have been incorporated into the bill that Senator Pryor referenced.

But, remember that heart got in that little boy's stomach, and it killed him.

I hope you look at our legislation, where we've basically put that ban in place, with some trace levels.

Because people just aren't taking this seriously if they're letting products come in like this.

I'm trying to figure out how we got from nice little packaging, and this was manufactured somewhere in China, and it ended up in--Tamara Fucile, who works with me--her kid's toy box.

Would it help to have the batch numbers on the packaging or on the toys?

How are we going to make sure that those laws are being enforced? Or that that agreement is being enforced?

We have to stop just bemoaning the recalls, and we have to act now.

These toys shouldn't be on our shores, they shouldn't be in our stores.

We clearly need change.

Has the administration been coming in, every year, asking for more resources to fix these things?

One guy sitting in an office charged with ensuring the safety of $22 billion worth of toys just isn't going to work.

So do you understand the need, and I appreciate you talking about the voluntary work you're doing to revamp some of these regulations for the CPSC and also give them some more resources to do their work.
