The U.S. Senate has passed a bill that toughens inspections of toys made overseas. The bill is a response to record recalls of items that sickened children; it would create a public database of consumer complaints and bolster the Consumer Products Safety Commission.

Morning Edition host Cathy Wurzer talked with Minnesota's U.S. Senator, Amy Klobuchar, about the bill.
