Back when tire manufacturing firms announced their intent to close their American factories and start importing from China, many of us on this very forum strongly cautioned that this was a bad idea. We were promptly shouted down.
We were assured they would have to meet safety standards before they were allowed on the road. That didn’t happen. It’s a good thing that some businessman got to pocket a few extra dollars selling faulty products to consumers, I guess.
“Made in China” means this product is a hazard to your health.

I want to believe freepers are all good people. I have seen posts, and I’m sure some freepers believe you should be on your own in the marketplace. If someone sells you bad stuff, even dangerous stuff, it’s your fault for not being more careful. That’s not my definition of “good people”.
