Apathy of U S consumers blamed for perilous goods
Consumer expert Treesa Drury warned at a GOP luncheon that Americans tolerate dangerous food and faulty products. She cited rat dung in food, botulism on pizza, cheap auto bumpers, and high water prices to push for stricter enforcement and penalties. Ralph Nader questioned consumer power, while FDA recalls and industry lapses were noted, including cancerous beef warnings and misleading labeling.
