CPSIA in 2008: Senator Pryor Capitalizes on a Media Frenzy

CPSIA in 2008: Senator Pryor Capitalizes on a Media Frenzy

“Won't somebody please think of the children?!” This line from The Simpsons could have been the catchphrase of Senator Mark Pryor’s 2008 Senate career. That was the year of a media frenzy over unsafe children’s products, something that resulted in the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA). The American people are now saddled with a law that has caused … [Read more...]

Pryor Brags About Job-Killing “Toy Safety” Bill (Plus: More McLean Monitoring)

Pryor Brags About Job-Killing “Toy Safety” Bill (Plus: More McLean Monitoring)

Mark Pryor listed his work on “toy safety” in Monday’s debate as one of his biggest accomplishments during his tenure in the Senate.

Senator Pryor Ignores Me

Senator Pryor Ignores Me

As a father, I’m used to being ignored when I ask a question. My children seem to have selective hearing loss (the doctor assures me this is a common malady).

I did a lot of research on the … [Read more...]

Senator Pryor Jumps the Gun on Phthalates

Senators aren’t rocket scientists. In fact, most of them aren’t scientists at all. There are a few doctors in the Senate. The House of Representatives has a microbiologist, but most of the members of Congress are about as educated on science as you or I. That, however, doesn’t stop them from pretending to be scientists. Take the ban on certain phthalates in the Consumer … [Read more...]

Sen. Pryor Stops Kids from Eating All-Terrain Vehicles

Sen. Pryor Stops Kids from Eating All-Terrain Vehicles

Can all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) be dangerous to children? Of course. When I was 12, my cousin and I were riding on my grandfather’s 4-wheel ATV. Our behavior was about as mature as that of a typical 12-year-old, which is to say that we were driving the ATV backwards at a high rate of speed. My cousin turned the ATV sharply, causing it to flip over and roll on top of us. … [Read more...]
