Today, the Commission voted in favor of agency staff suing Leachco to force a recall of its Podster and Bummzie infant loungers. There is a reasonable basis to believe that CPSC staff can prove that the loungers present a substantial product hazard.
Today’s suit should be a signal that this Commission is serious about protecting consumers. When companies refuse to recall products deemed deadly by CPSC staff, they should expect an administrative complaint to quickly follow.
