"Killer Commodities enters the increasingly heated debate regarding consumer culture with a critical examination of the relationship between public health and the corporate production of goods for profit. This collection analyzes the nature and public health impact of o wide range of dangerous commercial products from around the world, and it addresses the question of how policies should be changed to better protect the public, workers, and the environment."--Jacket.
