- It is quite obvious that our feckless government is not
going to stop accepting toxic Chinese imported products. So, dear
consumer, it is up to us. We have the power to stop the insanity by refusing
to buy this stuff. Check each product or toy that you buy and if it was
made in China or contains ingredients from China. If so, DON'T BUY IT.
-
- Just because a product has an American name or is offered
for sale under an American trademark that does not guarantee it was made
here. Look before you buy. Made in China? Put it back on the shelf
and tell the store sales person that you wanted the product but won't buy
it because it is made in China. Ask for a substitute product that was
made in the USA or Canada. Stop buying. If this means we have to say
no to our children about a popular toy, so be it. Don't be afraid to tell
the child why you cannot buy it. You are the parent and have the
right and RESPONSIBILITY to say "no."
