So each state must regulate whether Planters Deluxe Mix has no peanuts? Each state must regulate if Vitamin C tablets have any vitamin C? Each state must regulate if motor oil meets the standards for a particular grade?

That is ludicrous!

Caveat emptor indeed! How do you keep track of all the things you buy? How can you make decisions on what to buy? There are standards now ... but if there were none?

UL standards are free market standards. ASTM standards specify motor oil standards. And fuel standards. Is it a government agency?

We don't need government for standards.

That is a free market function.

No UL listing? No sale. No ASTM standard on the oil can? No sale.
