MORE CRAP FOR SALE

According to a group called Consumers International, the single worst consumer product in the world is Rozerem, a sleeping pill marketed for children. The drug’s manufacturer, Takeda Pharmaceuticals, was awarded the honour after airing television commercials in the United States featuring groggy children returning to school with the suggestion that Rozerem could help your child with his or her sleeplessness. The group also wagged its finger at Coca-Cola for using regular tap water for its Dasani brand of bottled water, and Mattel for selling over 19 million products which had to be recalled in the past year.
