Is China now trying to kill us with their manufactured products?

Products made in China will choke, burn, drown, trap, break, or cut and in many cases kill Americans.

Washington's consumer safety recalls an overwhelming amount of imports from China.

A while back I wrote an article about China trying to poison not only our pets but Americans as well. Now it seems that poisoning us is not fast enough, they are trying to kill us with faulty products as well.

One can’t really blame them though; China is running out of room for all their people, and nuclear bombs, so as soon as they kill us off, they can build a bamboo bridge from Shanghai to San Francisco and commute.

One would think that if China can build a nuclear bomb, they could build a lamp that doesn’t catch fire, or a candle that burns the wick instead of burning your house down. Yes one would think, but they don’t, because like I said, after we are gone, they want a place to store their Nukes and poison dog food.

It's not just Chinese food and drug imports that can kill you or your dog. Many of those bargain-priced products you pick up at Wal-Mart, Target, or Sam's Club could do the trick, as well.

Imports from China were recalled by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission more than twice as often as products made everywhere else in the world, including the U.S.

Of the 152 product recalls announced by the commission since January, 104 have been for products made in China.

Some of those products are:

Portable baby swings that entrap youngsters, resulting in 60 reports of cuts, bruises, and abrasions;

Swimming pool ladders that break, resulting in 127 reports of injuries, including leg lacerations requiring up to 21 stitches, five reports of bone fractures, two back injuries, two reports of torn ligaments and eight sprained ankles.

Faulty baby carriers that result in babies falling out and getting bruised, getting skulls cracked and hospitalizations;

Easy-Bake Ovens that trap children's fingers in openings, resulting in burns;

Oscillating tower fans whose faulty wiring results in fires, burns, and smoke inhalation injuries;

Exploding air pumps that have resulted in 13 lacerations including six facial injuries and one to the eye;

Bargain-priced oil-filled electric heaters, selling for less than $50, that burn down homes;

Notebook computer batteries that burn up computers cause other property damage and burn users;

Circular saws with faulty blade guards that result in cutting users, not wood.

Electrical products made in China represent a significant percentage of the recalls.
Last month, which was "National Electrical Safety Month," the commission noted the proliferation of "dangerous counterfeit electrical products," many of which come from China, that pose serious risk to life and limb.

The CPSC noted the market is saturated with counterfeit circuit breaker, power strips, extension cords, batteries, and holiday lights that are causing fires, explosions, shocks, and electrocutions.

The agency suggests that if the price of such an item seems to be too good to be true, it could be because the product is an inferior or unsafe counterfeit.

You might think an attractive, normal-looking table lamp would be safe. But 1,500 manufactured in China had to be recalled because of faulty light sockets that posed the risk of electrical shocks and fire hazards.

Or how about emergency lights that look just like other emergency lights but whose circuit board malfunctions, preventing illumination during emergencies? The CPSC recalled 3,200 of those last month.

And be careful which heated massaging recliners you relax in. If you chose one of the 1,700 manufactured in China and recalled by the commission last month, you might have found yourself medium rare, or in some cases well-done, because of an overheating and burn hazard that was discovered.

Even the simplest, most inexpensive items from China seem to pose massive risks. About 2,700 $12 pine cone candles had to be recalled when it was determined that the wick wouldn’t burn but the exterior coating caught fire.

The problem isn’t that Americans see a cheap electrical power strip with a circuit breaker and make the ignorant assumption that it does what it is supposed to do, but that the Red Chinese are quite obviously trying to get rid of us. If they can succeed in accomplishing it this way, they won’t have to waste a nuclear bomb, besides Nukes are so messy, they wouldn’t be able to use this country for a thousand years; so much for the bamboo bridge.

The counterfeits are not only counterfeits in the sense of improperly using brand names; they are actually counterfeits in the sense of pretending to do something they were never intended to do. The big problems occur when an over-taxed power strip doesn't trip a circuit. Fires occur, property is damaged, and people are killed, but isn’t that what they were intended to do?

Pier 1 Imports found out when 180,000 pieces of glassware were ordered recalled by the CPSC because the items broke for no apparent reason, sometimes cutting the hands of those holding them, cheers!

How could one go wrong purchasing an attractive kitchen stool engraved with a rooster on the seat? After all, it was only $30. Well, several people found out when the stools collapsed, even under the weight of small children. Cock-a-doodle-do…

You might want to think twice before entrusting your child to something as simple as a crib made in China. For years, American manufacturers scrupulously lived up to the exacting safety standards imposed by agencies like the CPSC. Not so with Chinese manufacturers because they are trying to reduce their purchasing market to zero.

Some 40,000 cribs had to be recalled when it was discovered that the directions instructed consumers to assemble them in ways that would result in the baby falling out and becoming entrapped. Additionally, locking pins on the side of the crib could pop off and cause a choking hazard. China must figure that abortions alone in the U.S. will not work fast enough.

About 450,000 infant car seat carriers manufactured in China had to be recalled when it was determined infants were falling out because of a faulty design. The Evenflo Co., which imported the carriers from China, received 679 reports of the handle on the car seat releasing for no reason, resulting in 160 injuries to children, including a skull fracture, two concussions and cuts and bruises.

Even books for young children have been found to contain plastic squeaker toys that have become lodged in babies' throats and metal clips that break off, potentially injuring kids. Well at least they didn’t explode.

Graco received 137 reports of infants mouthing, chewing, and sometimes choking on tiny pieces of its soft blocks tower toys imported from China. At least 32 infants were found gagging on the pieces and 49 choked on the plastic covering. In all, 40,000 had to be recalled.

THE BOTTOM LINE: Boy what America won’t do for a bargain, we will risk our limbs our lives and even the lives of our children, just for a cheap deal. I’d say the Chinese have us pretty well figured out. I just had an epiphany, these are the same people that make the ammunition for our military; I wonder if this has anything to do with our GI’s being blown up and burned. I mean it certainly couldn’t have anything to do with the peaceful Nation of Islam, could it???
