I do believe that China is declaring war

The latest recall from China is the toy "Aqua Dots". This toy has a chemical that when ingested can cause children to go into a coma and die. So far there are 3 cases of young children in comas. I have not heard of any deaths - yet.

This is just the latest in a long string of recalled toys and other items made in China. I do know that with all the recalled toys many small toy making companies in the USA are having booming sales right now and they deserve it. If this keeps up maybe the US companies that sent their manufacturing to China will bring it back to the USA where it belongs. That will only happen if the buying public refuse to buy anymore items made in China and I do believe that is what will happen.

I imagine many handy type parents might even be making their children toys this Christmas like a toy working backhoe , stuffed animals or a wooden rocking horse. The older children would be getting the electronic type toy but it is the younger kids that are being affected by the recalls.

I am glad that I don't have any young children now. I would be worried sick about anything I bought for them.
