I'm not aware of any tool that does that, but it isn't hard to find the problematic lines, as these will have more delimiters in them than the number of columns. All other lines are trivially decodable and pose no problem, as the quotes are unnecessary there.
For the problematic lines, I would parse the complete line and aim for ," to start a quoted string and ", to end said string. I would also log all these problematic lines for later human inspection. You could also consider to ask a human about these problematic lines instead of spilling one interpretation into the DB.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
