While China - or more specifically sloppy manufacturing at some firms in China - certainly is a part of the problem, the real problem is much bigger and wider.

"The recalls of 2007 and 2008 have focused the world's attention on product safety. People realized that the product safety nets in the United States and around the world are failing to protect consumers, especially children, from unsafe products such as toys. Dr. Bapuji's book examines how the product safety net is broken and how it can be repaired. Based upon extensive research, Dr. Bapuji refocuses the conversation about the causes of the product safety recalls to include an examination of why the recalls occurred and how the recall process should be improved to make it more effective for consumers. This book is an important addition to the body of research on product safety and recall effectiveness and should be read by everyone working on designing, making ,selling, testing, buying or using consumer products." ~ Rachel Weintraub, Director of Product Safety and Senior Counsel, Consumer Federation of America; Past President, International Consumer Product Health and Safety Organization (ICPHSO)
