Week of February 8, 2010
In the News: Toyota issues safety recalls, what the company refers to as “Pedal” and “Floor Mat Entrapment,” on over 9 million of its vehicles. Federal investigations have commenced on the best-selling Prius hybrid after problems with its antilock braking system were reported. As a consequence, the top automaker is suffering from the aftereffects: negative PR, lawsuits, and a loss in sales after a halt in production was put in place on some car models.
Also: Top Pentagon officials have called for an end to the 16-year-old federal law, commonly referred to as “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” that bans gays and lesbians from serving openly in the U.S. armed forces. Supporters of the repeal include Defense Secretary Robert Gates, former Secretary of State and retired Army General Colin Powell, and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen.
