Can’t go wrong with Chinese products for this answer– the continued use of paint containing lead on Chinese products, and especially on toys, has been a concern for a while now. Beyond that, there was a pretty extensive bust recently on toothpaste, also from China, which contained a constituent of antifreeze. This is potentially hazardous, even potentially fatal. If China wants to retain their product integrity, like they say, they ultimately will have to solve that within their own country. Anyhoo….
Oh.. that kind of reminds me of the tainted pet food which killed a bunch of pets last year…. and if I’m not mistaken, the ultimate cause was feed containing melamine which came from china.
