The model of Underwriters Laboratories works quite well or at least
used to when anyone paid attention to it.

Correct. And, now that the problem has caused the loss of millions of
dollars in sales, the shoddy factories have been fixed, and the problem
rectified. They system worked.

Don't forget China also put some guy to death for it to. But the system
isn't fixed and never can be as long as the country we are buying from
isn't working under the same set of rules.


Serious question: I never heard of any kids being hurt in this
lead-paint situation -- did you?

No, but Lead poisoning doesn't show up right away.
