As more industrial companies cease US operations, the domestic supply sources of critical components either shrink or disappear entirely. This leaves the field wide open to foreign counterfeiters most of whom are in China.

Lead paint was the trigger.

I am finding replacement parts harder to get. I am waiting on something now. The appliance I bought (yogurt maker)was made in China and so too are replacement items. I have waited since december.

Always check the feedback.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued a notice ... to prevent counterfeit parts from posing a safety concern.

The notice is confusing. The notice warns about safety concerns but cites parts that were installed in a non-safety related application.
