I continue to receive suggestions for new links on my American Made Products Directory that are panning out. Today I was able to add a Soap Company, a China (dinner ware) company, a canoe company, another toy company, and there may have been another.
Please keep emailing me the suggestions for American Made Products!
Thanks

I read some more articles where like me other people are pointing out that all of these dangerous toys are being imported in by American Companies and that should make them just as much to blame! The Chinese would not be making these things had the American Companies did not hire them to do so! I hope it cost them so much they think about the real cost. And they will if we make them pay!

Read a great article about a vendor that put a sign out pointing out the American Made Toys and they were cleaned by shoppers looking to buy Made in the USA first. I think the all stores could learn from this!

So it seems like many of the recalled toys on the ever growing list come may be made in China, but they are being made for and imported by huge toy companies we all grew up with? How come we don’t hear the brand name in the news very often!
Well I have something to tell Mattel, and Fisher-Price, you are known by the company you keep, and right now you are keeping company with a bunch of greedy factories that will do anything for a buck!
Tell these Toy Companies what you think of them. Tell them to make toys here in the US where they sell most of them. How many toys does China buy? I doubt slave labor wages can buy a lot of toys even if they are dangerous!
I’m not a big fan of lawsuits but these toy companies have it coming to them!
I will not be buying any Mattel or Fisher-Price items period!

Wow, it has been a great week already. I was emailed by three different vistitors to the site about companies I had not found. So after checking out their suggestions I was able to add an American Shoe company, and American Boot company, a New Motorcycle Company, an American Made Dirt Bike Company, and a Jeans Company. So please submit your ideas I do track them down and list them if it pans out. Check out the site for the new listings of American Made Products I’m still chasing down info on a couple other submissions from two other visitors!

So The Vermont Teddy Bear company turned my site down as a candidate for their affilate program. Maybe the site was to American Made for them? They did not bother to say why. So I guess they are made in the USA, but sorry honey I’ll never be sending a Teddy Bear order from them anytime soon!
I really want my site to stay away from politics and it has, so I’m not sure why they would not like the site? They advertise on right wing radio (I thought they did) and this site is not right or left!
Keep your money in the US, Keep your Job in the US!

So I’ve been able to add a few more companies to the American made Toy page of the website. The good news is there are more then ever before. You may want to know why you don’t see some companies on my list when it appears on other list of American Made toys. Well the simple answer is they don’t put anything loud and clear on their website about being Made in the USA. If I have to guess then I guess no and pass them up even if they are on another list. Sometimes I email and ask them, but I’d rather list the proud first!
There is a wave of interest right now in American Made. Sing it loud and proud there are people out there that want to buy your products!!!!!

Ok some of the points are silly. Yes moving toys like skateboards and bikes can indeed be dangerous, but so can walking across the street. Is it not the unseen and unkown that is more dangerous? Is there lead in that paint? Did slave labor make this toy? Did an American loose a job becuase this toy was made in China?

How cool, on Thanksgiving this site was mentioned in an OP ED in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette Opinion. It is a good OP ED by the way. I love this line “That’s OK. I’m also sure there are political beliefs on some of these sites that would curl my hair. I’m not trying to get all red, white and blue in the face here.” And for the record I never wanted this site to be poltical! So I hope it was not this site he meant, as he did list several others along with Americansworking.com.
So thanks Pittsburgh Post Gazzette. Here is a link to the well written article about Made in America

Well I’m not even going to try and answer that. The reason I’ve used that as a headline is because of what I have just read. There are several articles just published regarding the shopping habits of Jesus if he were here today. One of the articles is a MTV interview with film maker Moragn Spurlock of “Super Size Me” fame. This interview is based on his new film “What would Jesus Buy” So near the end of the interview he mentions a scene that was cut from the film about a Chinese Woman who is jailed for being a Christain, while jailed for her horrible crime she is forced to make Christmas Lights to be exported to the US. All the while being tortured. Now I don’t know if this is true, it sounds as though he is talking about it as fact. I would like to know. Although I already believe it just because of all of the news of this type of activity coming from China.
Here is the link to the article
