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.
