More Poisoned Chinese Goods - Kids Lunchboxes This Time!

Here’s a surprise, another product for children from China with unsafe levels of lead! This time it’s children’s lunch boxes, and they were bought by the State of California to give to school kids to encourage them to have healthy meals. Now 56,000 of them are being recalled because they are not so healthy.

This is getting to be almost humorous, the number of products being recalled made in China is astounding and I can only imagine it will get worse. In the interest of profit, companies here and elsewhere are buying things that are made without any quality control or regulation. Sure China has tough consumer protection laws, but they do nothing to enforce them. They are put in place to provide deniability for buyers.

Personally, I have started looking closely at everything I buy and if at all possible I will avoid Chinese made goods at all costs. When it comes to electronics that’s just about impossible, but I expect a wave of recalled high-tech products any day. Eventually big business will remember the old adage, “the bitter taste of poor quality lingers long after the sweet smell of low price”.
