Sue the hell out of Walmart.

I suspect that it’s small companies that will go out of business over this, because Walmart types will go after our own small businesses.

Sue the hell out of Walmart.

You might be on the something. Under the legal doctrine known as "strict products liability," retailers are generally liable for death or injuries caused by the products they sell if the product is inherently dangerous when used as intended and fails to include appropriate warnings. If people die or are series injured from contaminated food from China that was purchased at Walmart or any other deep-pocket retail store, then you can bet that the "evil" trial lawyers will go after Walmart and the other retailers in mass tort class actions. Faced with potential loses that could reach into the billions, Walmart et al. will either stop buying Chinese food products and/or force the Chinese to improve the quality of the food products.

**Sue the hell out of Walmart.**

Check the products in the fancy stores — they come from China too. Not only a WalMart problem.
