Thanks for the kids meds update. I hadn't heard that yet.

is it really that hard to make all of these things without lead? honestly I don't know, but it seems with all the alternatives available these days from food to clothing to cars, there has to be a better way.

vs.

ethics

. . . . as it does, the bottom line takes precedence, with business ethics taking a back seat.

it's not just china and its manufacturers to blame; everyone from the manufacturer to the distrubutor to the retailer to the consumer is at fault to some extent or another.

thank god i don't have kids so the cold medicine is a non-issue for me. that's not to say it doesn't piss me off, though. lead in cold and cough medicine for an infant? that's just wrong. and unacceptable. i can't believe these companies thought they could get away with cutting corners like that.

the meds didn't have lead in them. it was a possible overdosing issue.

all the toys and the lipstick had lead.
