The CPSC is being sued by Public Citizen and the National Resources Defense Council for allowing toys containing toxic phthalate chemicals to be sold to children. The CPSC has been under fire much of the year for protecting the interests of corporations while betraying the safety of babies.

(Children's toys laced with liquid ecstasy... wow!)

The CPSC has chosen to selectively interpret the anti-phthalate law passed this year, deciding to only implement a ban on chemically-laced children's toys after February 10, 2009. Until then, the CPSC will allow all such toys to be openly sold on store shelves even though they contain toxic levels of chemicals linked to abnormal reproductive development and other endocrine problems.

In other words, the CPSC protects consumers from dangerous toys just like the FDA protects consumers from dangerous drugs, huh? Just like the USDA protects consumers from mad cow disease. What do all these corrupt government agencies have in common? They all routinely betray the American People in order to protect the financial interests of powerful corporations!

Safety gets tossed out the window in favor of profits.

Chemicals in the toys? Don't worry. They aren't really toxic.

Poison in the water? No sweat. The levels are "safe."

Cancer in the plastic bottles? Shrug it off and drink more.

Melamine in your infant formula? Shut up and swallow.

It's all so amazingly predictable, isn't it?
