Why do products from larger companies cost more than those from smaller companies?

For example: an ipod shuffle costs more than another lesser-known mp3 player that has the shuffle feature as well.

Or

A Dell laptop with similar specs (if not slightly lower) as an Ibuypower laptop, but costs 200-300 dollars more.

Question by : Will China face repercussions on a larger scale from all of the recalls?

Will our appetite for goods made in China lessen after all of these findings or will we as Americans keep going with our insataible need for cheaply manufactured goods? I for one am trying to avoid all products made in China though it is a hard thing to do. What say you all?

China pays it labor force much less than the Americans.
The Americans will continue to buy Chinese products, even though they are tainted with lead or even poison just to save a few pennies.
Then, when their child dies, they will try to sue for millions.
