Certainly there has been a lot of news
coverage of recalls of products
made in China, and Chinese products that are poisonous, or contain
dangerous lead. But, of course, when we import about $300 billion
per year, it's not surprising that there are some problems.
Two of the questions that come to mind:
- Are the number of problems in proportion to the volume of imports,
as compared to problems with domestic production?
- What about the type of problem. After all, poison in your
toothpaste is pretty darned serious!
