Panel: FDA needs power to control recalls
Categories: Diet & Weight Loss
Recalls of food-related products are still being batted around in the media and as such, a report today says that President Bush will be given a suggestion to allow the FDA to have the power to mandate recalls when risks develop.
Right now, the FDA has no such power, and recalls are handled by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. But when health is at stake, do you agree that the FDA should be involved with controlling the details of a recall?
Although I'm not a huge fan of the FDA, having that agency be involved with the direction of product recalls that could have an immediate effect on the health of any U.S. citizen seems appropriate given all the recall issues in the last year.

I agree that there should be some sort of authority over the recalls. There have been just too many food recalls in recent years.
