Thanks IMERC
And where were the defective toys made........China. I'm shocked.
When you see a headline like that, how many just scan the article for the first mention of "made in china"

I guess the Chinese forgot to put the lead in the pet food.
it was the left over lead from the other batches of pet food ingredients they didn't get chance to make....

You think people will finally wake up and realize that there's a terrible price to be paid for all this low cost imported crap? Me neither.

If by "people" you mean consumers, then no, I don't think so. Right or wrong, we depend on our system (laws, government agencies, import companies, retailers, etc.) to protect us from unscrupulous practices.
However, I don't think our system is doing its job well enough.
What choice do the people have as an alternate? Pretty slim. The decision is made at the corp CEO levels. Maybe you can figure a way to curb the people's desire for the more-for-less?

I agree. Unfortunately, it's increasingly difficult to even know where stuff is really coming from -- especially food ingredients.
Before the incident occured, I had no idea that pet food was being made in China. Since then, I've looked at a lot of the packaged human food in my house. Sometimes there's a country of origin, but many times there's not.
And what about when the overall product is, say, made in the USA, but they use some ingredients from Mexico, some from Canada, some from China, etc.?
I really think there needs to be more disclosure on food labels -- I want to know where it coming from.

I googled "list chinese taited goods"...
the different products and what their contamination is from is a real pucker factor..Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming<!----><!----><!---->
