More Chinese poisoning

Last year it was lead in toys this year it's melamine in milk. There hasn't been any mention of the milk products making it to America yet but they are scattered throughout Asia. You know...maybe we could compete with the Chinese if our business were allowed to poison the environment, the consumer and run without enforcement of govt regulation.

It's all about profit, baby.

I believe Cadbury chocolate has a recall due to China's milk problem.

Remember the Chinese Flip flops that burned the feet? How many times do we need to get burned by this country before we start shopping elsewhere?

i love'd cadbury, oh well another thing of my list i wont buy anymore.

Personally I try as hard as I can not to buy ANYTHING from China until they get they $hit in order. I would rather buy from India, Pakistan or South America before China. Well maybe not Pakistan

Well dangit! I'm 1/4 Chinese, I hope people don't boycott me at Jimmy Buffett Concerts! I've been to China and the corruption in the factories is ree dick urous!

You could make a shirt that says, "It's safe to lick me, I'm only 1/4 Chinese and lead-free"

I think it would suit you well.

As long as you have that posse of hot women with you, you're in no danger of being boycotted.

Actually, I have never owned an iPod. The only chinese product I am aware of that is in our house is a cell phone provided by my employer. It takes a lot of work to avoid one country. I make that effort.

Fair enough! I have much respect for you. I try to buy American but I admit I like my iPod....

Buffettbride, that's a brilliant idea! I really think I should get a shirt that says that! I might consider changing it up a smidgen to make it more vulgur though. LIPH, if I ever get into legal trouble with my alleged "posse of hot women", can I hire you?

yeah, i had to do a bit of self-censor because "uptight" seems to be the word of the day.

...just a lil' culling of the herd

So far it only applies to products made in, and for, the Asian market.

Not ALL Chinese products are bad.

According to the statement from Cadbury (in PDF) it only affects products exported to Taiwan, Hong Kong & Australia.
