Scandals involving tainted food and toothpaste from China

In the wake of scandals involving tainted food and toothpaste from China comes word of a new concern from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission as well as the Food and Drug Administration – toys, makeup, glazed pottery and other products that contain significant amounts of lead (also from China) - Is this being done on purpose ?

Answer #1

Self-explanatory: Is this being done on purpose ?

The products from china containing lead…eg, we’re importing lead on purpose?

Sure, to give lead poisoning to the masses who buy products made in China because it’s a big conspiracy? Sorry, I can’t quite get what you’re asking here…

Trader Joe’s, the hip, wholesome food store with 15 locations in the Chicago area, said Friday it will phase out foods imported from China amid concerns that standards on “organic” products from the country aren’t as stringent as they should be. China has been faced with a number of exporting scandals recently. In addition to lead-laden kiddie jewelry and toys, Chinese manufacturers have been blamed for selling pet food tainted with the industrial chemical melamine and for exporting contaminated toothpaste. China also famously exports counterfeit consumer goods, from fake designer handbags to phony computer software.

Answer #5

China makes too much money on the US economy. They’re the worlds largest holder of US treasury bills. If our economy goes south, their cash stockpile goes with it.
