Reply To: Does the Hecsher Company have to look out for the consumer

in answer to the title, but not necessarily the discussion, i have a recording of a shiur Rabbi Orlovsky gave in 1990 or so where he is mentioning this very topic. He was specifically commenting on the pop bottles that have a hechsher and also have piictures of scantily clad women on the label. He said that when Pepsi was promoting Michael Jackson, the hecshers in Israel threatened to pull unless they had bottles without the promos but here in America we don’t consider any responsibility for the product, just the kashrus.
