With all the recalls, I'm sure the retailers bear a lot of expense. Even if they get reimbursed for the shoddy/dangerous merchandise, they spend a lot of employee time on pulling things from shelves, and sending things back.

It's going to have to be retailers that say, "Can I find an alternative to commie Chinese crap?"

“The company, which has about a half-dozen employees, doesn’t have the money to pay for a recall, he said. “

They made the money and it is now in offshore bank accounts. They will declare bankruptcy and stick the insurace companies and tax payers with the bill.

The retailers won’t budge until the customer balks at buying whatever garbage it is that the Chinese are producing.

And quality control is only one (very good) reason to avoid doing business with the ChiComs. Another good one is that many of their largest manufacturers are owned by the People’s Liberation Army, who take the money earned on foreign sales and use it to buy weapons that will be aimed at American soldiers.

Somebody of my aquaintance, a few years back, made up little pressure sensitive labels that said “PROCEEDS FROM THE SALE OF THIS ITEM WILL BE USED TO INCINERATE YOUR CHILDREN”, and then had a lot of fun applying them right next to the MADE IN CHINA labels on all of the stuff at his local WalMart.
