I don't consider nearly half million play tea sets, and another one and half million toy trains... and the list goes on , to be insignificant. I do think China was chosen to provide this because they do have cheap/slave? labor and have the wherewithal for manufacturing in such immense quantities. However, why should we as Americans allow unsafe products just because... (fill in the blank with any excuse) ???

Allowances for mitigating circumstances can ruin our health, our future, maybe even our Country....

anyway...

if it were up to me, and I were buying toys for someone I love, I'd make sure this holiday season, they don't have "made in China" on them. There has to be alternatives! Might be a hard lesson to teach some children, but they won't die from it (the lesson.)
