The better companies know that in the long run, their reputation will double the money they put into repairs. Dragas and Lennar are doing the right thing. Companies that don’t, after Barbara Walters get’s done with them, will see that integrity is alive and well. The Chinese manufacturers should give money back to them and the U.S. If this was our mess that we made in their country we would be paying to clean it up.
I agree with Texas. My husband and I have started a couple of years ago to make a concious effort not to buy anything that is made in China. It is difficult but not impossible. Hardest to find are shoes & purses. I am still willing to buy product made in other countries because I don’t hear of them making us sick. Be careful because even product which by thier brand name try to mislead you into thinking they are US made are generally made in China. M&M you need to rethink the issue.
I wanted a toaster oven. Went to Walmart, Bi-mart and Costco. Couldn’t find one that was not made in china. I think it’s impossible to not buy something from China.
As Americans, we’re the result of Western cultural traditions, so we fail to see the roots of this problem- just as in the current terrorism conflict.
Having traveled overseas to many places (China included)- I will say that I’ve met alot of good people, but also that the biggest reason we see defective or inferior products from these places is cultural. Many cultures have little regard for their own people, let alone foreigners. So, they’re not going to get heartburn about lead paint in your children’s toys or sulfur emitting drywall.
They made a buck. If they deceived you or injured you in the process, that’s just life to them. Until we recognize the complete difference in accepted attitude toward issues such as this in non-Western cultures, we’ll never have clarity in our diplomacy or trade relations.

FUTURE SOLUTION—-DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM CHINA!!!!!!!DUH!
You’re an idiot.
Hmmm, let’s see – lead paint in childrens’ toys, melamine in pet food, and now gas-emitting drywall. I’m not sure Texas Agent is the idiot here….
This should be a product case againts the Chinese manufacturer. And MM (mindless moron), think before you say something stupid.

NOTHING GOOD COMES FROM CHINA OR MEXICO. America is stupid to continue to trade with and cater to both.
