Subject: recall or not?
But both the state attorney general's office and the federal Consumer Product Safety Commission have said that the Illinois ban is valid because states can adopt their own rules where no federal law exists."
1) states can always meet or exceed federal requirements. so why not get them off the shelves.
2) so what is to prevent them from being purchased form another state? parents can drive to somewhere else. if that company creates an ad locally and locally includes the neighboring state, what's to say that parent will travel there to get the toy. federal government said the limit it had was legal. so will the state sue the local parent for purchasing that item?
