More Toys Recalled Because Of Lead Hazard; China Says Improved Standards Are To Blame

Wake up America. Take a dump in a box and send it to china; that is what they are doing to us. Buy back our debt and force the companies to manufacture here where we can have stricter controls over what is going into our homes. the latest wave of recalls is just the icebergs tip. If we produce nothing then eventually we will be a 2nd and 3rd tier economy. How many times do we have to get hit by a bus to realize we need to stop going down that road?

I think it is time for our companies to start producing products in this country. The worst thing that ever happened to the US was NAFTA.
It is ashame that the only thing the US corporations seem to care about is nothing in the world but greed. Forget that these other countries aren''t even equipped enough to test for excessive lead levels, much less do they even care, no, especially since it is a product coming into this country and they consider us fools!
I don''t know what it is going to take to wake up this country''s corporations, to keep them in this country. But when someone''s child gets critically ill or dies, I wonder will they even care?

China is quickly learning from America. I love how Gao states at least part of the problem is that Mattel did not perform "strict examinations" upon receipt of the toys. Yea, spread the blame around!

That said, maybe there should be some fines, penalties, or even jail time for American firms henceforth caught not fully vetting their foreign suppliers and manufacturers, and double-checking all such products imported into America.
