Everyone is talking about the toxic cadmium toys from China. As a products liability lawyer, I can tell You we need to protect Americans from contaminated products period, not just react to the latest expose.

The fact is we need to overhaul the toothless Toxic Substances Control Act which emasculates federal regulators to the point that consumers, men, women and children are not protected.
