Anyone who says morality has no place in capitalism clearly doesn't have good business sense.
Unethical behavior hurts profits and the experiences of Enron, Worldcom, and many now bankrupt or nearly bankrupt mortgage lenders can serve as proof of that.
Although it is true that some corporations have gotten ahead through unethical behavior, it is very foolish for anybody to base their business model on immoral practices.
The chances are high that the customers will punish you if you do.

Well, I think it could well be the case of a few bad apples spoiling the whole bunch.
Think about it: the vast majority of consumer products are safe when used properly.
Though, I will agree that there are a lot of firms out there going unpunished, which is why we need to be vigilant and hold everyone accountable.

Do you think we are being lead astray and not told the whole truth about problem products coming from China?

But are not all people moral only out of self-interest?
