>They should require amazon to randomly sample.

Isn't that just the government passing the buck to Amazon then? The should have auditors from the FDA or NIST or whatever to do random tests at Amazon warehouses.




We should, given the scale and importance. Testing for heavy metals (lead, cadmium, etc) is easy with hand held XRF (xray fluorescence) [1].

I think this is actually a reasonable option, i just tend more towards the side of "government is unlikely to be good at this" than others.

But for people who feel otherwise, and think it's necessary sure, no issue with it.
