Super bowl 50 is in the books. But lawmakers in washington are still working to make sure concussion education improves nationwide, especially among younger athletes. Senator tom youdoll udall says manufacturers are making false advertising claims their gear will even though a recent National Academy of sciences report says helmets and other protective gear do not reduce concussion risk. Youdoll udall says this legislation pushes the Us Consumer Product Safety Commission and federal trade commission to crack down on false advertising which takes advantage of the fears of parents. People need to be very careful about what the claims are because what weve learned in the hearings weve done and in talking to people, there can sometimes be an elevated level of confidence if youre playing with something you thinks going to prevent a concussion, and thats not a good thing. Youdoll udall says manufacturers which fail to alter their misleading advertising could face civil penalties. A move, he thinks, will lead Many Companies to drop their false campaigns.
