Question

1.How realistic do you think it is to create a world standard for toys with respect to their safety and use by children? 2.Should we ban products from a country that does not follow standards similar to what the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission suggests for the United States? Is the CPSC overprotective? Should each country have its own guidelines? Why or why not? 3.If there are health risks associated with lead poisoning, what about related areas such as lead in drinking water (e.g., the issue that came to the forefront in the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign regarding water supply in Flint, Michigan)? 4.Is lead in toys a financial, or cost, issue? Why have we not seen the toy industry monitor and do something about the lead problem, even though we have known about it for more than 30 years?

Answer 1

1. I think it is very realistic to create a world standard for toys with respect to their safety and use by children. Children across the world face the same type of safety concerns. Also, the market for toys is spread across the world in which toys are manufactured and assembled in various countries and then sold across the world. For example, China manufactures and assemble significant amount of world toys and sell the same across the world. So, it is a globally integrated market. Also, there is not much variation in terms of safety needs of children across the world. So, it is very realistic to have a world standard for toys with respect to their safety and use by children.
