China Recalls Millions of Toys Because of Shotty Cheapskate Work Can't Post

Despite the recall of millions upon millions of toys with unsafe lead levels, American insurers are still happily footing the bill to insure Chinese manufacturers.

The fact is, Americans LOVE their low priced goods so mcuh they'd never ever think twice about stopping cheap goods from flowing into America from China. Even though lead KILLS kids and it was found in TOYS, Yankees would much much rather saving 50% on labor costs (if not more) than make safe toys. This is why China will be the next superpower, at the expense of cheapskate Americans (and Canadians for that matter).

That's my piece, long live lead filled toys!

A delightful article about how America is giving up so much for cheap toys.

With Christmas approaching the imports of Chinese toys has actually increased. So nobody really cares about cheap China toys.
