I dont have statistics, but isnt the majority of banned materials banned because consumer organizations pointed their finger at them?

So what's the consumer group's recourse when a company's products kill someone? Send them a nasty letter? Give their product a 0/5 rating on Amazon?

Do consumer groups have the authority to force companies to recall products? How about refunds? Where are the consumer groups getting this money?
