Yes, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has already had 104 products made in China removed from our markets. They have removed 152 products this year overall so China has bragging rights to greater then 50%.
These are not just products that don’t work, they kill, choke, fracture, lacerate, crack skulls, burn down your house, and more.
Now I’m pretty sure a lot of this products may be designed here and we need to look at the companies doing the planning but the bulk of the mishaps appear to be just shoddy corner cutting work! You get what you pay for!
This year too many items have been recalled from China. See http://www.recalls.gov. My dog almost died last year from the tainted dog food that had the killer China ingredient. Also, I as the assistant director of a childcare center often have to take the cheap recalled products out of the center. I am now having a baby and with the recent killer China baby formula and killer baby products I created a website (www.babywelch.com) with items not made in China. I would like them to be all made in the USA and try to buy that first, but it is not always easy when it comes to buying baby products. It is sad that there are not more baby products made in the USA. It is time to bring the jobs back to America where they belong( and help our failing economy) and make safe products here at home.
