Like the Wizard of Oz behind his curtain, governments pull a few levers and a barrier to trade is transformed into a public health issue.  Scratch the surface, however, and you find faulty science, unattainable risk standards, and less than open regulatory processes.  From rubber duckies to wine to the latest in electronics technology, the list of affected products is a lengthy one and the effect on global trade considerable.
