China

Just wondering if China is trying to knock us off without firing a shot? First, it was our pets, now they seem to be going after us!

Federal health officials said Thursday that they were detaining three types of Chinese fish -- catfish, basa and dace -- as well as shrimp and eel after repeated testing has turned up contamination with drugs unapproved in the United States for use in farmed seafood.

Beyond the fish, federal regulators have warned consumers in recent weeks about lead paint in toy trains, defective tires, and toothpaste made with diethylene glycol, a toxic ingredient more commonly found in antifreeze. All the products were imported from China

I don't know about you, but I don't want antifreeze in my toothpaste! And the toy train is the very popular, Thomas the engine. (wooden ones, I think) They also wanted India to farm tigers with them to use their pelts and body parts! They stupidly think if they consume part of the tiger, they will posess it's strength! And their way of doing away with rabies was to beat to death people's pets without warning.

Wally World--are you paying attention?!

  3. This is not good. Maybe we should just stop allowing them to ship stuff here if they can't follow the rules.

  4. Makes you wonder what they've been getting away with since everything can't be inspected!
