Chemical Christmas and China is winning

For those parents that enjoy purchasing toys During the Christmas season beware!!!!!!!

Most American toy makers are out of business thanks to the cheap low quality and chemically poisoned Chinese toys.

Even with all the fuzz about the Chinese toys our malls and toy stores are full of this items during this Christmas.

China is winning and nobody can force them to be more careful with the products the use on their toys.

Because is not toys from anywhere else to fill Americas toy stores.

More than 20 million toys were recalled in 2007 due to unsafe levels of lead alone, not to mention other possible safety violations. Unfortunately, all the United States can do is shout its frustration and hope that the Chinese voluntarily change their practices. With no productive capacity to produce our own toys, the United States is dependent on what goods it can import from China regardless of health and safety concerns

The United States has become dependent on China for so much of our daily consumption that we are almost forced to accept their shortcomings as a standard risk. There are some things the consumer can do to avoid buying contaminated merchandise. On the other hand, avoiding Chinese merchandise altogether may be all but impossible in most cases

All I can say to everybody that is planning to buy toys is . . . be very careful because the ones to lose here are our children.

It's all about business and profits.
