2) PEER REVIEW (HENRY)

When I think of product safety, one that comes to mind are prescription drugs. We as consumers have problems with our body on a daily basis. And the problem is we want a quick solution for an instant healing that we will try someone else drugs to see if it will solve the problem. As we take the time to read the warning labels of certain medications and make certain our children aren't placed in harms way by grabbing our medications, this effort should also be enforced when seeking a quick solution from headaches to the common cold. Just because someone may say their medication works wonders for them, does not mean it will do the same for you. Therefore consumers should ensure the safety of themselves by not accepting a drug that helps someone and may hinder them. The warning labels are placed on medications for safety reasons. And it is good the government regulates these products, one for the safety of consumers who may take a medication which requires them to not drink or drive when taken, and two so others will know the warning of taking someone else medications. This not only keeps the consumers safe but also the pharmacuetical companies. By thoroughly checking that all medications are properly labeled and placed in and on the bottles, these companies when their drugs are taken wrong will be protected from lawsuits.

3) PEER REVIEW (DAVID)

Product safety is the ability of a product to be safe for intended use, as determined when evaluated against a set of established rules. This very important because when you make a product whether you are the seller or the buyer, the product most comply with the rules and regulations by the company who makes the product. The federal government mandates all manufacturing companies put a label and a warranty all products whether it is food, automobiles and other products. For example, I work at Napleton Automotive Group on all new cars we put a manufacturing warranty through the company. We have a 4 year 60,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty and 6 year 70,000 mile warranty through Infiniti. Also we put the horsepower ratings, safety ratings and torque-how much the car weighs. All automotive manufacturing companies must be in compliance to the rules and regulations in all of our automobiles. Another example is we have when the manufacturers set the price on our cars we can't sell the vehicle over sticker that is called price jacking we must stay in compliance. Product safety is very important to the customer and the business. For the customer you are getting a product that is safe and has a warranty for the business you have an excellent repitation.
