Toy Recall casts Doubt on products Made In China

China has been getting a lot rap lately from all the products that have been getting recalled from China during the last few months. There have incidents with pet food, toothpaste, clothing, and now toys. I mean come on, why is this all coming out now? and how long has this been a problem for? Have we been subject to these toxic chemicals all along and now that our awareness has raised concern over products coming from China that we are just noticing more and more problems that have been there all along? This is causing quite a stir among the common folk of everyday lives. Here in my office, my co-workers randomly talk about how they wont support products made in China any longer. I don't think that I want to either. But who else is there in the world to produce the amount of things we buy from China at cheap prices. Half of the things in WalMart come from China...can you really resist not boycotting WalMart? What other choices are there? Some articles that are out there claim that people are using the all the bad products coming from China as a reason to scream protectionism...which may be true to some degree...however, the record China has cannot be ignored and unless we can see some clear changes done with the management of goods that get shipped to the US...then peoples confidence in products made from China could be tainted for a while to come. Especially when we keep hearing more and more news stories every week about a new item that we should all be worried about.



Avoid solutions like credit card consolidation. Becoming solvent involves tedious tasks like managing your credit card sensibly. Whether it is capital one card or your citicard, that is of secondary importance.
