Sick and tired of recalls? Tell the companies responsible for them

Holy recalls, Batman! What's with all the dangerous products?

Mattel's Batman action figure was recalled because the toy had loosely attached magnets that kids could swallow, causing major health problems.

Earlier this week, we asked you to sign our petition asking Corporate America to do better. More than 2,500 of you did! Please add your name today and then forward this link if you've got friends concerned about this issue.

(Apologies to those of you who had problems with the link earlier in the week. We have fixed those problems with the link.)

If it seems that more products are being recalled these days, you're right. So far this year, manufacturers have recalled an estimated 25 million dangerous toys, 60 million pounds of pet food and 1 million pounds of spinach. And the numbers keep growing.

We've launched the Corporate Safety Challenge to demand that corporations do better. To join us in our campaign, click on the link below and then forward this to your friends and family.
