Minnesota Mother Dec 11, 2007
Recall: Food & Toy Safety: An American Crisis
Susie Hoeller has written an easy to read book about a very scary international problem. As a mother of five children, I am amazed that they have all lived past 17! This is a nightmare!
In order to stop the production of unsafe toys, food, and children's apparel, we have to encourage the companies to produce safe products. We can only do that by having a purchasing public that knows of these unsafe products and is hyper vigilent. This book should be required reading for high school students. They are our future purchasers, and an informed young adult will be more likely to choose safe products.
After reading Ms. Hoeller's book, I have become a product label reader and have become a much more discriminating shopper. If the label does not tell me where the ingredients come from, I will not buy it. All shoppers should do the same. This is the only way, by refusing to buy food or products not properly labeled, the food and toy companies will be forced to change their ways. Production of safe products should be their goal. If we, as consumers, refuse to buy their unsafe products, they will be forced to change their ways.
A big thank you to Ms. Hoeller for this book; it may change the purchasing practices of our country!

Recall Dec 07, 2007
If you want to understand the issues behind all the news surrounding food and toy recalls, read this book. It is not a long read, it is easy to understand, and even frightening. The book contains the information needed to make better choices selecting food. It has made me much more aware of what a food label does and doesn't say. Finally, the book is forthright and honest about what kind of action consumers should demand of their government in order to protect American consumers from both tainted imports and issues that originate right here in the US. The source references at the end of the book are worth the price by themselves.

Recall: Food &Toy Safety: An American Crisis Dec 04, 2007
This book is a quick read that touches on some very important issues facing our safety. It does not pretend to address every issue in extreme detail, but manages to give clear and compelling information that every American needs to be aware of. Ms. Hoeller is an expert on the subject matter. Although she openly admits to presenting her point of view, she gives insight into the ways to manage risks, even if you don't agree with all her remedies. This should be required reading on at minimum the high school level.Recall: Food &Toy Safety: An American Crisis
