Cheap chinese products full of poison

[lazs2]

Don't set your clothes on fire.

Don't run into other cars and you won't have to use the seatbelts or see if the airbag works.

Culero,

That is indeed good news. I come from the time when one of the lessons of history included egregious examples of yellow journalism and it took the rather courageous efforts of an individual who coined the phrase, "all the news that's fit to print" to make a change in the "business". I fear we are well down that road towards the yellow again.

You either have very sharp makeup-puteroner avoidance skills or you haven't have driven in my neck of the woods to be so cavalier in your seatbelt/airbag comment.

Our of respect, nay honesty, for the fairer sex, I must admit I see more young males causing accidents or near accidents with their impetuousness than I do females with their self infatuation.

cheap chinese garbage actually turns out to be cheap garbage? who would have thought!


and formaldahyde at that level is hardly "poison"  it' will cause a rash, sure, but so will coarse fabric rubbing.  its not like the fiberglass insulation with it, your not going to end up coughing and choking after 20 minutes and sick for 3 days afterwords.

Not if the illegals do the work.

Vorticon,

Anything is toxic to the human body, even water.

Its all about the concentration you take in. These toys have insane amounts of a substance which makes it dangerous to people (kids more so).

Mav, I agree that a large part of the media deserve that, but actually there are good organizations out there. I work for a newspaper, am a member of management, and have a say in what content goes on the front page. I'm proud to say that our editor has the highest integrity, and demands the same from his journalism staff. We do not endorse politicians, we only present stories on issues and politicians' performance. Our editorial content is libertarian in philosophy. We are a leader in local charitable contribution (3+% of annual gross profit). I sell my product with pride.

And, we're a leading property in a national top ten media corporation (newspapers and TV). The core values come from the top, and we're family owned.

There is actually hope out there

C'mon Culero, admit it. You're a librul media kingpin. You libruls want to take down China so good ol' flag waving corporate America will lose their profit margin. You should be ashamed, Amerihater.

(For the humor impared: This has been sarcasm, this is only sarcasm. Had this been an actual opinion you would have been instructed where to tune in your local area for instructions on what to think.)

ak... so far my avoidance skills have held up except for being rear ended at a stop sign and run over on motorcycles by drunks.   seatbelts and airbags would have been of no use.

I wear my lapbelts in both hot rods but have never worn the seatbelt in 4 years in my Lincoln.

Lasz, if a meeting car gets over on your side of the road (for whatever reason) when it is <100 feet in front of your car, what could you possibly do to avoid the collision?

[swoose]

Just wonder how you Vietnam vets that fought the communist feel about going to the stores and all you can find is products made in China by the communist.
I salute all who fought there

Well they're starting to recall products now:

Blankets recalled due to formaldehyde
NZPA | Wednesday, 22 August 2007

Blankets made in China are being recalled because they have been found to contain unacceptable levels of formaldehyde.


The recall notice comes in the wake of the Government launching an urgent investigation after scientists found dangerous levels of formaldehyde in woollen and cotton clothes imported from China.

Charles Parsons, a wholesalers group which distributes the Superlux blankets throughout New Zealand, said the level of fomaldehyde in the blankets may cause short term skin or respiratory irritation.

Washing the blanket would significantly reduce the level.

Consumers were advised to return to product to where they bought it to receive a full refund.

The Superlux blanket is a nylon and velour face blanket primarily sold under the Gainsborough brand

interesting story - at least to me

i was in a supermarket with one of the kids and an older lady was looking like she needed some help finding something - i offered to help -she was looking for canned mushrooms - i found them in a different aisle and she proceeded to look at the can labels - out of maybe 10 or so different labels - at least 8 were canned in China - she then told me that she looks on all of the labels now to see where items are canned - china has taken over a lot of the canned vegetable biz -

What an eye opener for me - there is no way in H i am going to eat anything that is packed in water from over there - it is suicidal - i look on everything now - to see where items are packaged..

3 Rules I can think of....

IF IT IS FROM CHINA;

1) Don't let the kids play with it.

2) Don't eat it.

3) Your supporting Communism.
