in China. Um, this confuses me. Why is the Chinese government airing television shows defending "the country's safety standards" in China? Unless I am mistaken, the problem with the toxic Chinese crap stories is that consumers abroad are concerned. Maybe there have been (suppressed) problems in China as well? That said, apparently the newest toxic Chinese product is clothing. According to the AP: New Zealand's government ordered an investigation after scientists testing clothes for TV3's "Target" consumer watchdog program discovered formaldehyde concentrations up to 900 times above the safe level in wool and cotton clothes.
I will repeat: don't buy any Chinese made stuff. Certainly not until and unless real regulation is adopted and practiced in China (that is independently verified, of course). Unless, of course, you like to wear clothing treated with formaldehyde as you feed your pet melamine tainted dog food.
