Where can I get list of all China Products that are being recalled?
Question by pinaytechie: Where can I get list of all China Products that are being recalled?
I have 2 ULTRA Diabetic testers that are made in China – I bought in USA (Kaiser and John Muir). I did a test on both (same blood samples) and I got different results always… one was 84, and the other reading is 104! Both are same models. Id like to check if this is part of the recalled products.

There is no magical list with all of the products on it.
You have to contact each manufacturer and ask them.

WHY and How do businesses re-launch products?
Question by Drew: WHY and How do businesses re-launch products?
I just need a few points about why and how businesses re-launch their products back into the market.
Best answer:
Answer by alicegirl71
Why: maybe the product had a design flaw, or lacked a feature that consumers wanted. Or maybe it was just marketed wrong – targeted the wrong group, or the ads were offensive, or didn’t reach the right audience.
How: mainly through marketing. Trying a different approach, emphasizing what is different about the product, running ads at different times in different media, and so on.

Q&A: Are you catching yourself checking origins of manufacture of products?
Question by YRofTexas: Are you catching yourself checking origins of manufacture of products?
China has been getting very bad PR (Public Relations) lately; for the past year—really strong now because of recalled products. I am finding myself turning down purchasing products made in China if there is ANY possibility that the materials used would be inferior.
For instance: Had to replace a skillet with a non-stick coating. All that I looked at (at Target) were made in China, with the exception of one pan manufactured in Italy. I elected to instead purchase a Stainless Steele skillet made in China (rathar than a non-stick skillet made in China). The difference is that I trust that the Stainless Steele would not be tainted or inferior.
I also BARELY purchase items from the 99 Cent store, since it seems that a huge % of their merchandise is China made; and so many have notes of “wash hands after handling”. Pretty spooky; can’t believe this store hasn’t stripped it’s shelves of these products!
Have you found that your shopping has changed over this?

The US has consumer laws set up to protect the public from dangerous materials or workmanship. Imports can slip by without any accountability. Would it not matter to you to know that the glassy firings on dinneware, if made in US is safe and free of lead poisoning? California tags materials made with hazardous, cancerous materials made into products. If you feel that WHERE makes NO difference, then it is your loss, as you are subjecting yourself to life-threatening chemicals that produce cancers, brain damage, and can be highly explosive or fire proned. Think this thru again, please.

Do you know how to stop China from shipping inferior, defective and dangerously deadly products?
Question by itsmyopinionsothere: Do you know how to stop China from shipping inferior, defective and dangerously deadly products?
The simple answer is to stop buying from them. They do no think they are liable for any damages. When the Fed went looking for the melamine source the plants were empty. The tire importer is handling his recall without the aid of the Chinese Mfg. and now it’s lead paint. This will never end. I once in a joke said the easiest way to take over the USA was to plant tiny time bombs in all we import then set them all off at one time. In a way I guess my little joke is becoming a reality.

Yep, and it seems to be getting worse. The head of the Chinese manufacturing plant committed suicide over the problem, and the former head of the Chinese FDA was executed over it. You have to give them credit for getting tough on violations.

Any products similar to one I use that they dont make anymore?
Question by Meridith: Any products similar to one I use that they dont make anymore?
I loooove using my “healthy shots” cucumber balancing mini-facial cream by mark because it makes my pores disappear and my face feel soft and refreshed, but they stoped selling it so I want to find a product similiar to it.
Any kind of product that gets rid of your pores and makes your skin soft basically. If it helps acne too that would be good but I dont really NEED anything for acne it’d be nice though if it helped that too.

Answer by Seeya
There’s a reason why they stopped selling a certain product. They’re not selling well, they’ve been recalled because many people have complained of allergies. I’m pretty sure, they’ll turned up on eBay, and the FDA can not control online sales.
The less products you use, the better for your skin. Treat your face like your skin. Use Bath wash like Suave Bath & Body Gel, use a washcloth. Treat your face like the rest of your body, take a shower everyday or wash your face everyday.
The secret is keeping your face clean and oil-free.
Acne medication could worsen what ever allergies you have, so instead of trying out one product after another, you’re actually spreading it around. Example: ProActiv contains a known carcinogen, at a percentage known to promote skin cancer.
The FDA has called for more safety studies on benzoyl peroxide because of concern about what happens when skin treated with it is exposed to the sun. Until research can establish or disprove a possible skin cancer link to the use of benzoyl peroxide products, the agency plans to require an extra warning and directions on the labeling: “When using this product, avoid unnecessary sun exposure and use sunscreen.” and “If going outside, use a sunscreen. Allow [product name] to dry, then follow directions in the sunscreen labeling. If irritation or sensitivity develops, discontinue use of both products and consult a doctor.”

prove that the products ab and ba are conjugate elements in a group?
Question by Jenny H: prove that the products ab and ba are conjugate elements in a group?
prove that the products ab and ba are conjugate elements in a group. Please show steps!
Best answer:
Answer by Copestone
The answer is almost tirivial. It is just a two line proof but since you ask for details, I would write down everything for you, including definitions.
Let a, b ? G, a group. Let e be the identity element.
Recall from definition that the products ab and ba are conjugates if there is an element x ? G such that
x(ab) = (ba)x
So, simply take x = a^{-1}
Then x(ab) = (a^{-1})(ab) = (a^{-1})(a) = eb = b
while (ba)x = (ba)(a^{-1}) = b((a)(a^{-1}) = be = b.
It follows that x(ab) = (ba)x.
Equivalently, some textbook also writes x(ab)x^{-1} = ba.

Do electronics companies make all the parts for their products themselves?
Question by Angel: Do electronics companies make all the parts for their products themselves?
Or do they outsource?
My friend said that all electronics companies made every part of their products themselves in their own factories, but my other friend says that a lot of electronics companies outsource the making of the parts for their products to other, smaller factories.
Which is it? Do electronics companies outsource ever? My friends are fighting about it right now lol!!
Thanks. 🙂

Answer by I. B. Zoxx
Nearly all of them do, including Apple.
Most Apple products are produced by Foxconn in China. Perhaps you recall reading articles about how Foxconn mistreats their employees, and Apple is under pressure to improve working conditions for them.
Following the launch of the smartphone, The Wall Street Journal reported an executive saying the iPhone 5 is “the most difficult device that Foxconn has ever assembled. To make it light and thin, the design is very complicated.”
According to a Reuters report, iPhones assembler Hon Hai Precision Industry, the entity of the parent Foxconn Technology Group, was finding it hard to cope with the massive demand for iPhone 5 units since the Sept. 21 launch.
Analysts have earlier reported that Foxconn has expanded production of iPhone 5 to its other unit, Foxconn International Holdings (FIH), which typically makes non-Apple products, to address the shortfall. However, Foxconn Chairman Terry Gou declined to comment to the Wall Street Journal on brokerage reports.

Should we avoid calcium and magnesium in hair products?
Question by Denise H: Should we avoid calcium and magnesium in hair products?
Hard water is bad for hair because of calcium and magnesium. Most organic substances contain calcium and magnesium (even fruit). Wouldn’t the ingredients in hair products have those components as well? And if so why aren’t we concerned about hair creams, shampoos, gels, and conditioners as well?
Best answer:
Answer by Sur La Mer
If you’re too concern about the hard water in your hair, rinse them with bottled water. That’s what I use when I’m traveling. Some celebrities, ship Perrier Water to wherever they’re vacationing, and wash their hair with bottled Perrier water or spring water.
Anything that’s in our shampoos, whether OTC or Salon products, can’t be that bad, they’ve had the same ingredients since the 60’s, when bottled shampoos came out. Before then, we’ve used a bar of soap to wash our hair. The FDA recalled a product this week that’s organic. Not everything is safe anymore!
I don’t use conditioner on my hair, and my profile shows that cheap OTC .99 shampoo on sale can’t be that bad. What’s bad and damaging to hair: hair dyes (causes hair loss), perming, relaxers (contains formaldehyde causing cancer), hair straightening (causes hair to not grow normally), heating curlers, anti-acne products, Proactive which contains carcinogen causing cancer, washing in hot water (in those order).
