A tough congressionally proposed consumer protection bill would abolish the FDA, require federal officials to act against unsafe foods and drugs, and set up a new Consumer Safety Agency headed by a czar with power to issue strict standards and impose heavy penalties. The plan would repeal existing safety laws and seek jail terms for noncompliance.
