Why do you people keep talking about lead paint in toys, poison in toothpaste and pet food!?!?
You shouldn't base your facts in media. Whether the country is China is not relevent. US companies like Enron, Worldcom and others all cheated money out of companies, different method but same crime. People filled with greed, whether it is China or US is not the point here.
Poison toothpaste? Come on, I rather take my chances on Chinese toothpaste then to eat your western Macdonald or Burger king fat burger anyday! Your minds are already poison if you are filled with ignorant facts!
Learn some history about China/Taiwan/Hong Kong first!

To the first peron who answered the question: it is the same thing, they use another chemical to make products to cut down the cost, in the end, money is the magic word! People get sick is the by product of the greed.

come on ppl, don't be fooled by the media. This is all about politics.
It's not just China; US rejects products from all countries. There were more serious incidents that the media just conveniently ignored. I also noticed the interesting timing of these reports--right after the US officials failed in an negotiation on trade deficit with China. It is also reported by the Japanese media that exports from US are not as good as those from China, quality wise...

Even China's best friend, Saudi Arabia recalls Chinese-made toys.
FYI
94 deaths in Panama from tainted medicine
Chinese manufacturers are facing harsh scrutiny after a series of health scares involving toxic exports to several nations. In Panama, officials are struggling to understand how a poisonous chemical made in China was wrongly mixed into a cough syrup formula, killing more than 100 people since last year. China has denied wrongdoing in the incident.

Yeah, okay, obvoiusly you didn't loose a cat or dog to the pet food that has been proven to come from China.
Just so you know, I don't go to Mickey Dee or BK for food.
And, I don't buy stuff from China anymore. It is my decision what I do, & none of anyone elses information.
The paint on the toys from China had lead in it, children chew on things...figure it out, or is that your problem, have you chewed on lead paint your whole life & this is the result?
Money stolen is one thing, & they are being punished. Poison in food & paint that is being exported from the same country, IS the facts, & I am one person doing what I can!
How about the car China exports to Russia? Crumples like a tissue at approx 40 MPH. The crash test dummy had to be taken out in pieces. I saw the evidence!
I don't support anything from China anymore. My choice, that is the freedom we have in the US. We make quality products, & fix things when mistakes are made, before they hurt others.

In my opinion, I don't need to learn history of any country to understand that lead paint is dangerous and unhealthy. This fact doesn't excuse Enron's criminal acts, or whether or not MacDonald's hamburgers are unhealthy, they may be.
The point is there is enough law enforcement, to correct the problem of lead paint, and greedy companies that cheat people out of greed.
We should try to correct all problems, broken laws wherever they may exist, without criticizing issues that don't apply.
Just my opinion

I think American are already getting too focus on the American media, and simply believe what the media say. I mean judging one thing shouldnt come from one source and should be from Chinese news and other nation's news. Have you not taught by your teacher that writing a research paper shouldnt come from one source and should be come from multiple sources? Same thing on this matter, judging the Chinese products shouldnt come from American media itself. I mean sometimes one nation's media maybe against another nation and would say something that is not true. That is why judging one thing should not come from one source. You also need to use your logic, dont just because what people said what they want you to do and do it, you need to use your judgement ourselves, this problem already caused american or other nation's people to lose their self analyzing and logic and their mind is controlled by the media. You need to think about that Chinese products had never harm you and dont let the media control you because they discover certain area that is bad. American products also have bad products. Would you stop use all American products because of one or two piece of news about it? This Chinese products incident already caused the protectionism people to rise up and people are simply getting too easily fooled by the media. This type of incidents already exist some time, why do american media getting so heated on this matter very recently? My best guess is because Chinese government dont follow the order by America to let their currency more flexible and use this matter as a revenge

Lead is bad and money is good. But paints without lead is expensive! So have to use some leaded paint. This is what happened in some of the bad factory.

Huh? Are you crazy? I don't defend Enron just because they are an American company, but you want to defend Chinese companies no matter if they commit a crime. The Chinese government does not approve of criminal behavior either. So why do you? You are stupid.

The bottom line is this: Mattel and other US companies are the ones responsible for their products. China didn't out source the jobs, the US corporations did. They are responsible.
It is obvious even to the typical lazy American that the problem with China is that the US government has decided not to be allies with them. This is all propaganda.

Great!!! Stay there and put the lead toys in your mouth as many children do,brush your teeth with lead toothpaste, and if you live long enough to complete your GED you will possibly learn how lead affects the body.

i think that now in days the media has nothing better to talk about and lets not blame them for everything. have you notice that almost everything that you eat its bad for you, if it doesn't give cancer, it has any kind of bacteria.
also i think is a way of advertise different products that come new to the market. i think that is up to us not to let us be fooled by this, just keep doing what we are doing up know to the best of our knowledge's.
