Toy Recall Prompts CPSC Reform Bill
WASHINGTON, D.C.Bike manufacturers could feel the backlash from a recent spate of recalls that have raised a cry for stricter product regulation from federal legislators. In the last four months more than 10 million toys have been recalled. In addition, the Consumer Product Safety Commission recently recalled 4.2 million Aqua Dots craft kits. Millions of parents are asking how this could happen. The truth is the agency charged with their childrens safety is hamstrung by a lack of resources and outdated regulations, said Senator Mark Pryor, D-Ark., in a Nov. 8 press release. Pryor, along with co-sponsor Sena-tor Daniel Inouye, D- Hawaii, introduced Senate Bill 2045 to increase the effectiveness of the Consumer Product Safety Commission. The bill seeks to authorize additional funding for the agency to increase staff levels, improve antiquated testing facilities, increase CPSC agents at U.S.
Father Testifies About Slain 10-Year-Old
The father of a slain 10-year-old testified Tuesday that he had warned his daughter to be careful of strangers before her mutilated body was found in their neighbor's apartment. "I told her you can't be trusting people and do not go into anyone's apartment," Curtis Bolin testified Tuesday in the murder trial of Kevin Underwood, 28, who is accused of killing Jamie Rose Bolin in a cannibalistic plot. Bolin, an auto mechanic, testified that he gave her this warning after she told him she had met Underwood and knew that he had a pet rat. Assistant District Attorney Susan Caswell asked Bolin if he thought his daughter understood the warning. "I thought she did," he said, his voice trembling. He testified that he grew increasingly nervous on April 12, 2006, when his daughter failed to return home after school, and called police.
Drugs chief: I quit after ministers failed me
Although Pearson announced his resignation earlier this year, few expected him to deliver such a devastating verdict on progress in the drugs war. His post as SCDEA director-general is unlikely to be filled for months. Pearson took up the job in March 2004 and he was not due to step down until 2010. He is credited with turning around the fortunes of the SCDEA, which seized Class A drugs worth more than £60m in the past 18 months. Explaining his reasons for stepping down in an exclusive interview with Scotland on Sunday, Pearson said: "The agency has never been fully staffed and I would say, on average, is about 10% down on what it should be. "One of the problems is that some of the forces find it difficult to release staff to us because the pressures, at force level, encourage forces to keep them there.
SMART ALEX A MEDAL HUNTER
The newest sport at the winter Olympics in Salt Lake City next week should carry a health warning. Something like: Sliding down a bosleigh run on a tea tray can be hazardous. But it may be very useful for Britain's traditionally feeble medal count. The Skeleton offers a serious golden opportunity. The name derives from the outline of the sledge on which the "sliders" hurtle down the snowy mountains of the world. Head first. The name might also describe how some of the athletes finish the race. "Yes, it does look dangerous," admits Britain's gold medal candidate, Alex Coomber, a 27-year-old RAF intelligence officer from Worthing. "But in reality you can't actually crash out of the track, so it's really a matter of ice burns and bruising when you come off.
U.S. plans for falling satellite
Military agencies, he said, are doing an analysis to determine which pieces most likely would survive re-entry. But he cautioned that officials won't have much detail on where or when it will crash until it begins to move through the atmosphere and break up. Renuart added that there does not as yet appear to be much concern about sensitive technologies on the satellite falling into enemy hands. .
