Question by rubber ducky: Why are there so many recalls in 2010?

I do not know if u have realized but we have had so many recalls. Such as kids medicine, such as Tylenol and Motrin and Zyrtec. even allergy medicines. There are also so many car recalls, Toyota and Chrysler. Then we have the McDonald Shrek cups which have cadmium which give cancer. Jewelry such as Claire’s and Miley Cyrus’ Wall-Mart brand also have the same problem! Most of the things we probably use have problems too. What can we do? and why is this happening?

Answer by Richard K l
It really seems like there are a lot of recalls lately but they have been going on for a long time but have been covered up. I’m noticing that most of the stuff is from China who in my opinion is trying to poison us purposely a little at a time because “They” want to be the kings of the world. They really don’t have to invade our shores. All they have to do is disrupt our economy by sending crap over here to poison our kids and cause inconveniences in our daily lives. Think about that.
Almost every kind of toy or household equipment comes from China. What easier way to get rid of us slowly. simply my opinion.
edit: I’m not anti-Chinese but it looks obvious to me.

Question by ArRo: Will Mattel’s latest recalls slow down corporate flight to countries with cheap labor?

This could prove to be more expensive for Mattel than if they had not moved to Mexico and to China. Bring the jobs back to Americans, Barbie.
Oh man…I was hoping for different answers… but I suppose you are all correct. It’s like the corporations are making the USA a “bedroom community”, with less industry.

With all the recalls on pet food what human foods can a pet eat?

Question by DuSteDShaDoW: With all the recalls on pet food what human foods can a pet eat?

I was thinking that with all the recalls on pet food, that it may be safer to just cook and feed them foods that I know what is going into it, and not leaving it to a food production company, so what human foods would be safe and provide the necessary nutrition (vitamins and minerals) for a cat?

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

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?

Best answer:

Answer by Mental Rabbi
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.

Question by THE GUARDIAN OF FOREVER: Given the recalls and safety concerns recently, would you buy a 2011 or 2012 Toyota?

I probably would buy one.

Why? Because I think they will galvanize their efforts to make the best and safest products they can.

I think Toyota will look to recover with improved products, superior warranties, and perhaps some price incentives. What else can they do at this point? I’d say they kind of have to do these things. And hopefully the result will be great cars.

Would you buy a new Toyota?

Best answer:

Answer by PrincessC
NO WAY! Personally, I wouldnt have bought onw even before the recall. But, the prices I have seen on the new camrys and corralas have been irresistable. I see where you cme from if youreally wnat one it say ok just maks sure you have a very good warrenty!

What can YOU do about the pet food recalls?

Question by Jill: What can YOU do about the pet food recalls?

Check your state’s web site and write your Senators demanding they put a stop to ALL food imports from China until the quality of their products can be guaranteed.
Write to the FDA. Write to the White House. If we don’t stand up to this atrocity it will continue.
It’s now in human food… (yes, check your news — pigs fed contaminated food, butchered and sold to humans) how many people will die or become sick before our government does something?
Write your Senators, your state reps., anyone you can find an email address for.
Only wheat gluten importing was suspended, now it’s rice meal (or something like that) that’s contaminated — stop ALL imports!!
