Description: Provides background and policy guidance on improving consumer safety in imported food, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and toys and other products aimed at children. Considers whether policymakers should approach import safety issues through better funding of traditional interventions, such as regulatory oversight and product liability, or whether this problem poses a different kind of governance challenge, requiring wholly new methods.
