I wouldn’t stop with just food items. My wife brought home some dishes made in china which were supposedly microwave safe. They contained metal, and most probably lead. Tossed them all in the garbage.

That should have been reported to your local public health authority so those products could be pulled off the market.

Walmart advertises 2” faux wood plastic blinds that are lead free. What does that say about the Home Depot blinds?

Where did she buy them? I saw something in Walgreens I really wanted last night, looked at the label — made in China — placed back on the shelf... I’m going on a anti-China strike where possible... our new washing machine, dryer and dishwasher were all make in South Korea (LG) so fat the best appliances we have ever owned...

That is a big concern. Dishes or stoneware. The glaze probably has lead, and sadly they are not marked as such. I think this is why we are seeing a resurgence of lead poisoning in children.
