along with that there will be pictures of blackened lungs and diseased lungs...
why not put the chemical symbol for Lead (Pb) on the pack...lead will undoubtedly end up in the cigarettes as well as tobacco...no wait...sorry...I take that back...China only dumps lead into toys that are exported from the country...
Apparently China has found a way to dispose of it's industrial waste...
Incorporate it into exports of children's toys and eating utensils...
It's happened so often...can they all be mistakes???
Great article at Whiskey Rebel...thanks for the great stuff Ginny...
All I can say is BOO-Hiss on China...
I'm all for hammering the Chinese about product recalls...they seem to have found a way to export their contaminated waste materials....by shipping them to the US...
But Mattel should have been sampling the products for quality...as well as every retailer that sold them.
I have no doubt that Mattel overlooked the issue in light of profits and should be ashamed of themselves.
If my daughter had any of these toys and had lead poisoning...I would sue everyone involved in the supply chain...the manufacturer, the wholesaler, the retailer, the shipper and even customs because the product didn't match the shipping notices.
People are horrible and putting our children at risk is one of the worst offenses of all.
BOYCOTT CHINA and now MATTEL as well!!!
Wow...this kid passed his entrance exams...
I found it interesting that a few schools didn't allow him admittance...but I really think that beyond being a prodigy, this kid needs to be a child first...
He won't get the same social development of other kids his age...but then again...if Hong Kong's public schools are anything like ours...I don't know if he would get a great deal of positive social development with kids his age either...
Here we go...it's always easier to point at someone else than to fix your own practices.
Now China is saying that US products sent to China have been substandard...
I say fine...I'm still boycotting Chinese products now...at least as best I can...since everything is made there now.
The lead painted toys that have been recalled by Mattel now pose an environmental problem...
When a majority of the products end up in the landfill the paint will leach off into the ground causing an environmental issue.
It looks like China found a way of disposing of it's waste instead of dumping it into it's own rivers...send it to America!!!
Buried in the article is the fact that laws would allow Mattel to "Re-export" toys that don't pose an environmental risk to another country for resale!!!!
Horrible!
Boycott Made in China!
China was aware of the problems with the toys that were delivered since MARCH!!!
The article says that there was no comment as to what took so long to do anything about it...
we all know the answer...MONEY.
There are a ton of emails going around that say to boycott gas from Venezuela because of comments from Hugo Chavez...and that is just for comments by some dope...
Why aren't there emails saying to boycott "BROKEN IN CHINA, SHIPPED TO AMERICA"...especially when in regards to the safety of our children?????
BOYCOTT MADE IN CHINA!
Yet another recall of children's products
This is a similar situation to every Governor in the nation looking at bridge safety AFTER a collapse.
If there wasn't any attention brought to products from China would Mattel have recalled the products???
I'm not so sure...they should have been sampling product in the first place.
A rare river dolphin called a baijis that lived in the Yangtze River in China is the first extinction of a large vertabrate in over 50 years.
Very cool...
In a sign of warming relations between Spain and China, China agrees to send the two giant pandas to Spain for 10 years.
I just hope they don't get "Recalled" for having too much lead in them!
I think that this is a great step. I hope that it has teeth.
I have had regular problems with products from China whether it's the directions not making sense, pieces missing, pieces not fitting together, or having to return CHILDREN'S TOYS because they contain LEAD!
It is very worrisome and quite annoying. I have better things to do than to go back to a store to return crappy products.
Only recently have I started to search for the "Made In..." label and when I have a choice not to buy from China...I do. It's a shame that the whole country is getting heat for a few criminals but if that is what it takes...so be it.
