>>I find American double standards astounding. I remember a few years ago America stalled garment imports from India claiming they are "inflammable" (a ludicrous claim). When it comes to third rate American products which are down right harmful you have Americans screaming like hell. It is disgraceful that America should even continue to sell consumables that are downright poisonous.<<

1. I don't know which case you mean but flamability strandards for both U.S. manufactured or imported clothing were established when Congress enacted the Flammable Fabrics
Act of 1953 - those rules about excessive flamability aren't directed at India.

2. Coca Cola uses local water and cleans it up better than any local firm is likely to.
