The bill before us would give the Commission new tools. such as greater authority to expedite recalls. would give the Commission the authority to strengthen reporting requirements to facilitate the identification of the origin of the problems that arise in the supply chain. We also give the Commission expanded authority to better monitor and regulate the tremendous increase in the number of products that we import from overseas. The Commission. for the first time. has got explicit authority to consult with United States Customs and Border Protection Service to better identify dangerous products before they enter the country. The bill. as I have said earlier. also provides national uniform standards for many childrens products. rather than relying on a patchwork of disparate State and local rules. As has been pointed out. the bill before us has the toughest standard on lead. which is basically no lead in childrens products as they come into the national market. whether they are manufactured here In the United States or overseas.
