Toxic Chinese goods
"China Free" - this is showing up on products on U.S. store shelves...
Here we go again, more recalls of products
manufactured in China. This time it's in the baby
industry. Read the news excerpt that was released
earlier today, Sept. 21, 2007. As far as the title of
this post well I haven't seen this packaging yet but
a friend mentioned this to me because he'd read it in
TIME magazine. Rushing to extremes isn't necessarily
the answer but this issue doesn't seem to be
dissipating. Read the breaking news below for more
information this clip is quoted from a
WSJ.com
email notification I receive as a subscriber. Be
safe. Be well. Enjoy your read.

U.S. regulators are recalling about one million Chinese-made baby cribs, branded Simplicity and Graco, after the cribs were linked to at least two infant deaths. In both deaths, the cribs were assembled incorrectly by consumers. The recall is the latest tied to Chinese manufactured items, and comes amid new focus on the role of faulty product design. Earlier in the day, Mattel issued an extraordinary apology to China over the recall of Chinese-made toys, taking the blame for design flaws and saying it had recalled more lead-tainted toys than justified.
