1 Million Preschool Toys Painted With Lead. Oh I Love The Global Economy. China Strikes Yet Again!?
Posted by China Sourcing CommentatorSep 13
Do people even realize how bad lead paint is for children? It’s really bad for our children. Yet China keeps sending this crap. Poisonous food, lead painted chidrens toys, poisonous dog and cat food, illegal industrial chemicals in seafood. It keeps happening over and over. Will the new global economy bring us back to the days when our kids were dying or being poisoned because we hadn’t learned about these products that harm them? Isn’t it a shame that we are getting back to the old days when we now know about these things but they are harmed anyways so big corporations can make more money off of their products. This is getting out of control. What’s your thoughts on this?

Amen! Absolutely!
I am so positive that if a Chinese-owned company sent anything to the US with any one of these problems, there would be a halt to all Chinese imports immediately.
But these are American-owned companies with production in China, so what’s the government to do? Hmm…I have a suggestion but I think the corporations are so up the politicians butts…If these companies cannot keep control over the production process, they have no right to continue as is. But, you see, that’s the beauty of manufacturing in China (from a company’s point of view). No OSHA, no EPA, no labor laws, no environmental protection laws, no safety standards…
This IS out of control. This is ridiculous. What’s it going to take for us to quit buying products made in China? Yeah, I’m mad now.
Thanks for saying that. And yes I do know what lead can do to children.
The best way to ensure safety and to help protect the global environment is to keep the industry in the USA. Cleaning up the USA by shipping industry overseas, increases safety risks and environmental pollution because these developing areas have no history of these functions and they are trying to improve their living standards no metter what.
I do agree with you
They reported on the news tonight that the health department tested kids lunch boxs and they are lined in lead at UNSAFE levels. They tested 7 and 5 flunked the test.
3 of the ones that flunked were made in the USA
They said to look for the safe label saying it leadfree.
i agree I’m not a mother but i do babysit quite a lot and i know i would be devastated if anything happened to my boys… China may make things cheaper but if its going to be harmful to the kids wouldn’t it just make since to pay a little extra money..apparently not every one thinks like that
