China announced today the recall of 5 million pounds of lead. There were reports that it might be contaminated with toys meant for American children.
Awesome.
100% agreement with you.
I thought this was a bunch of hype until I discovered the Chinese were producing counterfeit Harry Potter books.
But If we dont buy from China that would mean that the shelves at WalMart will be bare!!
I’ve been telling anyone who will listen the same thing for years. Chinese products are dangerous to your physical and economic health, and doom on all of the companies that have off-shored their manufacturing facilities to China, threatening the lives of Americans for the sake of profits. Doom on them and China!
It’s made me finally stop & check the labels of everything I buy. I was looking for pet treats the other day - probably 90% of them were made in China. I found one that proudly displayed the American flag, and was labeled “Made in the USA”.
I’m tired of this crap - we conservatives have proven that we can organize and accomplish things - let’s have a China boycott. Our government won’t do anything about it - it’s time for the people to take this problem on themselves.
I just hope the missile defense and military technology that Klinton sold them follow the same quality control and high standards as the rest of the crap that country produces.
Drive a Chinese made car? You may as well just play Russian roulette!
Purchase products that are 100% MADE IN THE USA!
Continue to take a stand and be a voice for our pets and our loved ones! Do everything you can to boycott goods made by China and this includes ingredients made in China, Chinese plant processing and Chinese exporting!
Our animals couldn’t speak for themselves.
Were they the canaries of the food chain?
We have to protect our families now.
BOYCOTT CHINA!!!!!!
Here is a list of a few items made in USA.

ROTFLMS!
I lump the business decision-makers that got us here -- suffering the ill effects of deceptive manufacturing practices in China -- with the decision-makers that profit from illegal immigration.
"Manufacturing in the US is too expensive" = "Illegals do the jobs Americans won't do"
With a wink-wink nudge-nudge about what is really happening in their businesses.
The manufacturing oversight and standard of living for workers that were important last century in the US, may be deemed valuable again for products and services coming from other countries in this century.
Takes strong people to get past the "Screw everyone else so I can get mine" mentality that motivates many busines decisions.
I have had a self-imposed ban on all Chinese electrical products since a cheap set of Chinese Christmas lights nearly burned down my house in 1993.
I threw out the set that was burned, and plugged in another, to test them, and they burned as well. Brand new out of the box.
This is why I buy nothing from Harbor freight. If I need tools I purchase made in America brands. It costs a bit more, but I feel in the long run its worth it to not “bust my knuckles” when a piece of junk Chinese wrench rounds off on a nut and slips.
