In a rare instance of bipartisan support, President Bush signed controversial legislation in 2008 that amended the Consumer Product Safety Act of 1972 with tougher standards for toys, other children's products, and imports, plus expanded enforcement powers, whistleblower protection, and creation of the Consumer Product Safety Database. In question-and-answer format, O'Reilly (U. of Cincinnati College of Law) clearly explains the historical background of the Consumer Product Safety Commission, product recalls, noteworthy provisions of the 2008 Amendments, their financial impact on businesses, and relation to tort law.
