Draft Financial Reform Bill Proposed

Sen. Christopher Dodd (D-CT) released a draft of a comprehensive financial reform bill on Nov. 10.

Ed Mierzwinski, NJPIRG's Consumer Program Director, said the bill is "a major step" and includes a strong Consumer Financial Protection Agency.

Toys should bring kids joy, but sometimes they bring injury, serious harm, and even death.

This holiday season, when NJPIRG unveils its 24th annual Trouble in Toyland report, it will also launch a new interactive smart phone website to help shoppers avoid common hazards, as well as report potential dangers they find on toy store shelves, right from their mobile phones or home computers.
