Exactly, consumers gave walmart and friends the the green light that

themselves to blame.

"Walmart up, Macy's, other retailers see sales drop in Feb."

J.C. Penney : -8.6%
Target : -4.1%
Saks : -26%

From my experience, Walmart is interested in offering safe products.
I've written several material safety data sheets for manufacturers
that wanted to sell through Walmart and Walmart would not do without
an MSDS even though not required for consumer products.

Walmart sells to lots and lots of small businesses. Federal law
requires employers keep msds on site for chemicals used by employees.

It doesn't even have to fall into a "chemical" category. The 'right to
know' program includes ANY product, liquid or otherwise. When we
implemented the program at a Ford dealership, they even had to get
MSDS's for things like white out, and canned air. ANY employer MUST (by
federal law) have these sheets organized in a notebook that is readily
available to any employee who wishes to look something he/she is exposed
to up.
