Dear Friends,


I am contacting you on behalf of Wal-Mart Watch to inform you of a new product safety initiative currently being addressed by the Wal-Mart activist community in
Consumer Testing.  Product recalls have been a constant problem affecting employees and consumers.

In fact, only a few days ago Wal-Mart has been found selling wooden play-sets with defective equipment, endangering the lives of children around the country according to Consumer Reports.

         

Wal-Mart has consistently been among the leading culprits in selling recalled and potentially fatal products to the general public.  This has been the result of their manipulative efforts to undermine quality product testing. 

We are calling for Wal-Mart to have an established independent testing organization inspect products properly before put on the store shelves. 

 

To help us take action and highlight the danger that Wal-Mart presents to small towns nationwide we are asking people to link to our new page http://www.consumertesting.org.



Best Regards,

Adam Shapiro

When Sam Walton started the WalMart Corporation he built it for Americans to have a place to work and that only American made products be sold there. I agree this should be the case. THE END
