Made in China

Written on August 4, 2010 – 5:11 am | by Mommy Rubz |

I remembered the time when melamine content was found on milk and chocolate products made from China, my son Johann David was afraid to drink, eat or touch anything that was made in China. So I asked him why this is so. Then he replied that the news said that the milk drank by the babies who died was made in China and it has melamine on it that is why it was poisonous. Then I said, why wouldn’t you touch or play with toys that are made in China. Then he replied again that the news mentioned that there are toys from China that is painted with some lead containing paint which was also poisonous and caused children to die too.

So after that discussion, I explained to him that not everything made in China is poisonous. I explained to him that those were just rare instances that quality control was not implemented thereby allowing poisonous materials spread to milk, chocolates, toys and other products. I also told him that these incidents were already corrected. I even told him if he wants to buy an EPA approved lead test kit just to test all the toys that has marking made in China just to feel safe or get a list of unsafe products so that we could avoid them.

Anyway, just to make the story short, my son understood that what happened was only a rare incident. Now, he doesn’t generalize everything that is made in China to be poisonous or unsafe. In fact, he now understands why everything is made in China because I also explained to him that most companies have their products made in China to save on labor cost thereby making products cheaper and available to the market. I also told him that mommy loves to buy China made products because they are easy on the budget. So no matter how small mommy earns, mommy can still afford a few things. Thanks to China made products!

    even first world countries like America do have imported china products. I was surprised when JK once sent me some clothes that were made in china. not all that’s in the box though… but if we were to judge it, it would be something literally cheap but he doesn’t mind it. the manufacturing country didn’t bother him as long as the product looks worth its price and something he knows would make me happy, hehe!

    not all china’s are of poor quality.

  2. Yes, you are right but we must exercise extreme caution when we buy anything especially from China. Many Chinese products are smuggled items and did not pass through FDA.

    You are right, not everything that comes from China is poisonous and their are a lot of local producers that are much more expensive offering low quality products. However I have become really cautious when it comes to buying clothes and toys. If possible I buy second hand stuff and smell on toys – if it is bad quality you can smell it. Smile
