Government Shutdown Has Negative Ramifications on Product Safety

As a product liability lawyer, Cameron Brock has seen his fair share of products rushed to market without concern for the safety of the consumer. Luckily for the American people, there are governmental agencies in place—like the Consumer Product Safety Commission, Center for Disease Control, and the Food and Drug Administration—that help spread awareness of dangerous products and food before the customer gets harmed. Yet, the government shutdown has already affected these agencies, putting the consumer at risk in the meantime, who could eventually require the services of the Law Offices of Burg & Brock.

With the staff of the CPSC, CDC, and FDA reduced due to furlough, product recalls and food inspections aren't being processed as they were previously. In fact, one salmonella outbreak was detected in California during the shutdown. While it's sad that the government can't screen out harmful products thoroughly at the moment, the impetus is truly on the manufacture to make a safe product. If you end up harmed because something was rushed to market—putting profit over people—give Cameron Brock, experienced personal injury attorney in Los Angeles, a call at 888-509-2998.
