Many of our products such as toys and toiletries are not made in the United States and this poses a few fearful thoughts. Who knows what they put into our products and in what conditions do they work to make these products. We are all too familiar with the little stickers that state that the product was made in China, but are we safe with such products. The Chinese government had done some "house cleaning" and had found 23,00 safety violations and closed 180 food plants. In response to these actions congress is taking another look on our labeling laws. Yet many companies are complaining that this would be bad for business claiming that the products coming from China are completely safe and with onerous labels would just be bad for business that they would just scare the consumer.
Finally congress is taken action and looking into what we the people are innocently receiving from these companies. There have already been enforcements on tobacco labels and there should be on everything else as well. If U.S. companies want cheap labor and ingredients they must deal with quality control issues. This goes for China as well. If they want to sell their product here they must abide by our standards.

Wow! This is so true, I never cared and realized that about the whole "made in china" sticker. It's really scary that they found so many safety violations and I feel that it's really great for Congress to take action and have foreign products stand by our U.S. standards.
I agree. This is not safe, especially for young children and babies. It does not matter if these actions will be bad for businesses, safety is most important.
