Question by m<\/i>: What is your opinion on recent recalls?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Because baby furniture, food, and toys are being recalled for hazards, additives and poisons ~ there are rumors that prices will be higher for many of these products and especially for toys at Christmas (good way to get parents to pay any amount for safety).
\nI want to know why we should have to pay for the abysmal oversight of U.S. companies who are only interested in profits.
\nThe only way I would willingly pay more to these companies for their products is if they brought production back to the U.S., paid U.S. taxes so the product safety inspections can be funded at the level needed, and hire American workers again.
\nAlso the corporations keep blaming China for everything, but it is the manufacturers who insist on sending work there for cheap labor, do not follow their own safety guidelines for reporting discovered dangers, and instead of paying for the fiascos from profits, charge the consumers. ~ They should stop passing the buck and take full responsibility.
\nWhat do you think
\nIf you don’t mind, leave a star so more readers will give their opinions,
\nThanks<\/p>\n

I can’t really see how it would make sense to use something like this as a way to jack up prices for Christmas. The companies involved are going to lose a lot more money and reputation than they’ll get from that..<\/p>\n

And hopefully this will prompt a lot of people to look for domestic goods to purchase, instead of cheap, shoddy Chinese imports. That can only be good for us.<\/p>\n
