Lori Wallach Testifies before the Subcommittee on Consumer Protection and Commerce of the Committee on Energy and Commerce
Lori Wallach, director of Public Citizen’s Global Trade Watch, testified before U.S. House of Representatives lawmakers about a loophole in U.S. trade law that is generating a new flood of unsafe and counterfeit products – ranging from dangerous air bags and children’s toys laced with lead to cosmetics containing arsenic and prescription drugs lacking active ingredients – to be imported into the U.S. uninspected and sent to unsuspecting consumers.
