Raging Hoar Moans
The late SafetyForum co-founder,
Ralph Hoar, made significant contributions to product safety efforts for more than
three decades. His commentaries express his unique, irreverant, perspective
on industry, hazardous products and government's halting efforts to ensure
safe products. He is a champion of the American jury system and its
power to assert pressure for safer products. Featured here are some
of his observations.
