Good lord…it’s become a daily occurance, the recalling of something made in China.
Now, it’s SpongeBob SquarePants address books that are being recalled:
An Ohio importer recalled nearly 250,000 SpongeBob Square-Pants address books and journals made in China because the bindings might contain hazardous levels of lead paint, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said Wednesday.
Martin Designs Inc. notified the agency that tests of the metal spiral bindings turned up lead content above the level considered safe for children, the CPSC said. Under regulations, children’s products found to have more than .06 percent lead accessible to users are subject to a recall.
In a couple of months, we’ll be back in the biggest shopping season of the year–for toys especially. Is the Chinese poison train going to wreak havoc with certain brands or retail stores?
Meanwhile, some folks in China are taking responsibility–sort of. By killing themselves.
