Unsafe Chinese Toys
In the wake of the recalls of millions of children's toys made in China, there are few things that concerned parents can do to protect their children. Although throughout the scandal, the fact that the toys were made in Chinese factories has been brought up regularly, in today's global society, most toys come from China, and even those that are "made in the USA" are often composed of Chinese parts. Although it is still possible to avoid Chinese toys and toy parts entirely, it is very expensive, and requires knowledge about the production of individual toys that most consumers do not have. More information on this topic is discussed here: http://abcnews.go.com/Business/Consumer/story?id=3455597&page=1. This makes me wonder: if most toys are made in China, or from Chinese products, why even bother to mention where the toys came from? Describing the dangerous toys by their place of origin seems even more dangerous considering that non-Chinese toys still have such associations with Chinese products that make them no less dangerous.
