From the same makers of the exploding cell phone:

“...broke a rib and drove it into the man’s heart and he collapsed in a pool of blood...”
And also these fine China exports:
Toothpaste
Cold medicine
Baby bibs
Toys
Mini-blinds
Lunch boxes
Jewelry
Crayons
Pet food
River water
Ocean water
Fish
Air
Airborne Dust
All these (and more) coming from the Prison Realm of China have frequently turned up in other countries and have been found to contain unsafe levels of various toxins.

And here’s a good site for people who still buy products made in China:

Good list. Don’t forget the wheat gluten.
Considering China’s record when it comes to human safety concerns I expect to see parts of this vehicle line scattered all along the freeways here.
At this point I’ve got a list of things I wouldn’t buy from China and cars are certainly on the list. But there are some kinds of simple made-in-china things I’ve been buying for years which are fairly harmless and leave me with lots of money for other things: simple tools, shoes particularly tennis shoes, the North Star rifle scopes, and a few things like that which are difficult to screw up.
And the stuff they get from China won't be too much better.
I will not be surprised if in 10 years we see exploding cars on the highways.
This sort of globalization-at-any-cost is turning the USA into a 3rd world country.
Are you willing to pay an extra $0.25 just so that your baby's bib doesn't kill him?
Sorry, were not all made of money like you.
So my kids may have to bury their poisoned dead dog with a lead paint covered toy shovel, but just think of the money I will save.

Pre ‘65.
If they were smart, this announcement came without any real plans to implement until it gets a reaction.
I don’t buy stuff made in China nor do I buy from muzzies either.
Sorry to hear this. I’m a Chrysler fan but if the Chinese are going to produce them I won’t be buying another one.
Looks as if my Pacifica will be my last Chrysler Too.
a chinese yugo!!!!
