Here’s a funny one. So you recall a bunch of toys because they contain poisonous levels of lead paint. As an apology you send your customers a free gift toy to retain their business. Now here’s the fun part, wait for it… Now you find that gift has lead in it too and have to recall the gift! Is that a knee slapper or what?
Thousands of Thomas & Friends toys were recalled back in June and the company sent out free gifts to customers who returned the poisoned toys. The gifts are now being recalled for lead paint. No joke.
I will ask the question again and again, how many more times will companies get burned by poisoned Chinese goods before they realize that China is not a safe place for manufacturing. Someone with a brain could open a toy company here in the United States and manufacture toys right here, and even though they would cost more, the public would buy them. When is someone going to realize this? The economics of having to recall your products is going to take a toll on profits eventually. Globalization is not bad, but having absolutely no product quality and safety controls is!
