Yes I know. Part of the problem is that it's a global industry, which is why I said "as a whole". One company or country could make a recycled plastic bottle, another company could buy it and ship it to another country to be used in a product, and finally sent to another country to be sold to consumers.

Most people have no idea what any country's regulations and standards are on recycled plastics quality & safety, and they aren't going to think about it or research it before they make a purchase.

Perhaps a better Public Service Announcement might be: if your government doesn't generally care about your health, don't buy recycled plastics for food or clothing use in your country.
