How many dead babies before products have to be certified safe?

Laws that are designed to "cope" and prevent harm after harm has been caused are laws designed in favor of people whose first interest is making money and they "may" also be interested in making a good product - but money first. How about something really old fashioned? People first! Certify that products are safe and throw some folks in jail who harm folks with their products. Hiding behind "corporate" status has killed enough people and may kill the planet! End of rant.
