On a related China note, my wife recently had a red rash around her lower back (waistband). First thing I asked her was, a)Are those pants new? and b)Did you wash them first? The answer was yes, and no. I guaranteed her that what she was wearing was made in China and that was the case. Purchased at Kohl’s.

Our local contractor, PAVCO, responsible for purchasing and installing the wholly inferior Chinese drywall, also used truckloads of untrained, Mexican labor to do the construction. As a result the building stands as a monument to incompetence, greed and poor workmanship.

It appears that the county building inspectors are to blame as well.

My wife always washes new clothes before they are worn for the first time. I used to think she was being paranoid, now not so much.

This is not new and didn’t start in China. Underwear made in NC IIRC was just as toxic back in the ‘70s. All you have to do is wash it before you wear it. Common sense is not very common thanks to the quality of our teachers.
