Response to toy recall

On Thursday the Senate passed legislation that would toughen inspections of toys and other child playthings that are made out of the United States. This is in response to the many recalls of children toys that have been happening. The House of Representatives also passed a bill dealing with toy safety, so now both sides must begin to compromise to get legislation passed. Both chambers passed their bills with relative ease making a promising start to pass final legislation. With all the talk of steroids and “spygate” it’s nice to see Congress might actually be working on something that could benefit the American people in some sort of way.
