Unsafe products report bill sparks industry clash
The proposal, backed by former Pennsylvania Insurance Commissioner Herbert S Denenberg, would have the state insurance commissioner assess company reports and issue a single public alert on unsafe items from foods to toys. Industry opponents led by Thomas Finley warn of higher costs and strained insurer customer relations. Denenberg counters that insurers are best suited to assess risks and hazards since they hold the necessary information.
