Looks like some US companies are in dire straits with lawsuits due to products made overseas…

Since March a cluster of incidents involving potentially deadly, defective, or contaminated products imported from China - pet food, toys, tires, toothpaste, cough syrup, shrimp - has awakened both that country and the United States to a latent crisis.

The larger question is just who is legally responsible when a chemical used in antifreeze ends up in a tube of toothpaste. U.S. companies are starting to find out as the lawsuits roll in that the tainted ingredients may come from China, but the liability is here.

I guess it’s “you get what you paid for.” If you want cheap, usually it does not come with good quality. It now matters since it may be a “life and death” situation.
