You Get What You Pay For If you're a parent of a young child, you probably know that there's a huge (and logistically almost impossible) recall of children's toys and jewelry because so many of these products are made with lead.

...Of the 17.9 million pieces of jewelry items pulled from the market since the start of 2005, 95 percent were made in China.Numerous hazardous products imported from China — including toxic ingredients put into dog food, tainted toothpaste, faulty tires and toys coated in lead paint — have been recalled.

The rush to modernity is always painful, but in a globalized world, it hurts all of us....and should, perhaps, make us think about the real price tag of a product with the label, "Made in China."  ¶ 6:36 AM
