    LETS STOP BUYING TOYS FROM CHINA & MAY IT CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THEIR OTHER PRODUCTS!
    THEY HAVE KILLED OUR ANIMALS WITH THEIR ERRORS & NOW OUR CHILDREN! MAYBE IT IS INTENTIONAL?
    BY NOW I THINK AMERICA SHOULD BE ABLE TO COMPETE AGAINST CHINA! IF NOT WE NEED TO MAKE THAT A PRIORITY!

    We better get a good handle on this recall as if we let these toys stay on the market and the kids get exposed to all that lead, we can pretty much succumb to the fact that we will have a whole bunch of liberal democrats voting in about 16-18 years.

    Finally, something to drive up Product Recall and Product Liability rates!
    Gather them lawyers in a circle, boys, and don’t shoot until you see the reds of their eyes!
    China, you stink. Dump your garbage on our market and then tell us you believe in an open market economy – especially as the containers sailing Westbound from LA and Seattle are loaded with dollars.
    Be thankful your manufacturers don’t generally have locations here in the US, so you can continue to shield yourselves from litigation.
    Now what are we going to do about a new supplier? Let’s Go Vietnam! Sorry, but not until my brothers and sisters are brought back home.
    Why not establish a 51st State somewhere Nort of the Mexican border and utilize our own foreign workforce?

    Let’s outsource our toy manufacturing endeavors to India…everything else seems to be going there.

    Do we want toys for our children made in a country that kills its own children?

    Wouldn’t it be great if the Olympic rings for next years Summer Games contained lead paint, and had to be recalled!
    And this in a city whose pollution is so bad, the government is spending billions to relocate their worst polluters just so the athletes can breathe.
    I wonder if the factories are going to be rebuilt with newer, cleaner technology? Would seem like a great way to get rid of some of their trade surplus, by purchasing a scrubber or two from an American manufacturer, and then copy the technology and reproduce the machine by the thousands.
    Or, instead of killing their cityzens, maybe its time to wipe out some agrarians.

    Finally.

    Something nobody can blame Bush for. Maybe for once we should blame Corporate America whose more interests in PROFITS than health.
    Take a hint from the movie Tommy Boy

    MADE IN AMERICA, BY AMERICANS, FOR AMERICANS

    Nice tommy boy reference!!

    sadly, how many times are we going to have this argument while people shuffle in and out of places like walmart? this debate is as old as i am. and yet, i haven’t really seen much of a change. i’ve seen local businesses get eaten up by these corporation giants for years…yes, people plead and plead, “BUY AMERICAN!” but saying it isn’t going to solve the problem.

    Isn’t a free market, first of all, free? Of course there’s corporate greed, but we live in a profit-driven economy, and it’s my opinion that each and every one of us participates in it and profits from it. And when we’re criticizing the Chinese for being polluters, let’s not forget that the U.S., with 20% of the world’s population, gobbles up 80% of the world’s resources and produces more than 80% of the world’s pollution. Wait till the Chinese catch up to our Western technologies and consumer ethics…the world will become totally polluted if they continue along the path that the U.S. has forged.

    You are absolutely correct. The US is the worlds largest polluter, and when you factor in the percentage of exporter GNP focused on our market, a tremendous amount of damage to the planet is done either by us or for us.
    But at least we here in the cities can breathe cleaner. And yes I wish I didn’t drive almost 60 miles (each way) to the office, in my mini-SUV, but that’s my fault and an acknowledgement that mass transit is not an alternative for my commute.
    Responsibility for our actions begins at home. Maybe I’ll just move closer to the office (if I could afford it and still get my kids in a top-nothc school system).
