What you don't appear to have considered is that people will probably tend
favor the products of those companies that willingly submit their products
for testing.  The stamp of approval of a testing agent would be a selling
point.  And if people don't favor such products, it means they don't care
so much about these safety considerations, and therefore shouldn't be
forced to support government safety enforcement agencies.
