The New York Times has another editorial Reform and Consumer Safety calling for product safety reform:

In the face of the mounting safety scandal, the White House has issued its own "action plan" that, of course, favors allowing the private sector to solve the problem with voluntary reforms. Responsible business leaders are already demanding something stronger in government regulation. Members of Congress have to resist the industry lobbyists and the administration and pass a strong reform law that puts consumer safety first.

Industry analysts say many U.S. companies save money by sourcing in China but are reluctant to spend on vetting supply chains. "You can't just throw the [orders] over the Great Wall and hope it comes back good," says Kent D. Kedl, general manager for Technomic Asia, a consulting firm in Shanghai that advises U.S. and European clients. He says companies "need people camped out" in China.
