Toxic Toys, Fouled Food, Poisoned PetsWe all know too well the devastating effects of a broken trade system: the loss of jobs, shattered communities, staggering national deficits.
Now, nearly every edition of the daily newspaper or broadcast of the nightly news reveals there are more side effects that could harm every American — toxic toys, poisoned pet food, tainted toothpaste and an at risk human food supply are making their way into the United States from China and other places where there are little or no environmental and health regulations.
In early August, Fisher-Price recalled 967,000 plastic preschool toys made in China because their paint contains excessive amounts of lead. The recall covered 83 types of toys including play sets, toy vehicles, figures and musical instruments. Many of the recalled toys are connected to popular children’s TV programs including Sesame Street, the acclaimed educational series, and Dora the Explorer, an animated series. Fischer-Price is a subsidiary of Mattel Inc.
In July, media reported that 180 food factories in China that make everything from shrimp to candy were shut down after inspectors found industrial chemicals such as formaldehyde, illegal dyes and wax being used in products.

It's time for America to wake up to the dangers of importing toxic, poisonous, shoddy & inferior products from China just because the price is *cheap*! You get what you pay for! They're trying to poison and kill us with their "pseudo-bullets" in the form of lead poisoning! Anyone who eats seafood from the cesspool-type fish farms deserves to get sick!
