I’d say in a few months, when this story has blown the wind out of its sails when everyone realizes that China is doing everything it can to curtail this problem, and the land fills in the USA are filled up with perfectly good products that the scare tactics caused common sense to go out the window, and the corporations who imports from China are making huge bucks as everyone is replacing all the good stuff they threw out, is when this will be largely forgotten.

Then America will find something else to bash China about, without looking at its own back yard and the corporations will be happier then a pig in stink making huge bucks replacing all the stuff that is thrown out. Yes there is a method to this madness.

Everyone is happy – except you, the consumer and global warming.

Made in China does NOT equal recalls and health risks.

80% of all new toys in this world are made in China, the recent recall from Mattell is only 0.001% of all the toys coming out of China.

Mattell decided to cut corners further by having the testing of its products be done in China. This is Mattell’s fault, it is also the Chinese test vendor’s fault. But this does not represent an overall trend from China.

It is worth it for the US corporations to outsource their work overseas, it will always be worth it as long as they can practice responsible business.

1. Made in China is still a correct strategy .
2. Need to find reliable and quality vendors to avoid future problems, more careful supplier selection & assessment , quality control and monitoring should be performed.

Good Luck!
