China recall stuff

Why are we still buying goods from China? Why are we still seeing stuff from China in the stores? Ralph Lauren's clothes are.. made in China. Well okay, some of them. So we pay a lot of money for pieces of cloth with pretty patterns from a country that first of all, poisoned our pets and now are basically poisoning our children. This is totally stupid.

When is there going to be a serious crackdown or ban on ALL of the stuff from China?
Oh wait, we have to wait for a child to die? Perhaps I am missing something behind the scenes - but I see the news about the recalls, an apology along the line, a recall from the China side.. but come ON people, some of these toys (alas, I am quoting something I have heard on the news) could have possibly been in some kids toy box for a number of YEARS.

Okay, I know, don't believe everything you hear. Whatever. If it isn't true, it still COULD be.


An apology doesn't cut it. A Recall is awesome but its still like shutting the door after the horse galloped out. How about preventing the poison in the first place. Oh and people that import the crap that goes into stuff made here aren't exempt from my rant.


I went to buy a floaty thing for the beach the other day - I think it was from CVS pharmacy. Made in China. Me and my sister went shopping for swimsuits and shoes. MADE IN CHINA.
Oh wait, we did find a few made in.. hmm.. what is that country.. oh yes, Italy. :D

The next thing will be that the clothes imported from China... will contain fiberglass. Yea. Well I hope they are the suits that the people who MIGHT be able to control imports have to wear for a period of 24 hours!. Itch away. Scratch away. Maybe then we will get something done because alas someone other than children, animals and the general public will be affected.

Hell, I can hope can't I?

I'm still angry about the pet thing. My pets are my children so when they started recalling every pet food made known to man it was a bit of a worry. I escaped the worst.. my cats are fed dry food. Thankfully. Hopefully the parents of the kids with the poison toys are as lucky with their recall list.

I know, I will just put a list on my fridge of what not to buy.

1. Anything made in China.

I hope Santa checks his list twice this year.
