First, the tainted pet food fiasco. Then, the antifreeze toothpaste ordeal.
What have those crazy chinese manufacturers got in store for us next, all in the name of saving a buck?
Over ten million children's toys, distributed separately by both Mattel and Fisher-Price, have been recalled due to excessive amounts of low-cost lead paint. Fatal if ingested, but hey, it's not like preschool kids ever suck on their toys or anything, is it?

Still more Chinese toys have been included in the recall because they contain magnets that have not been properly sealed(effective glue costs money, after all) and can kill your child via intestinal perferations if swallowed. At least one U.S. child has died because of this and about 20 others have needed surgery to save them.
How are the manufacturing execs reacting to this? Well...
