1.5 million toys are being recalled because of lead paint.

I'm starting to think that I won't be buying any critical use items from China...

It's enough to make you start wearing tin foil hats and growing your own food!

I don't know about tin foil hats, but a veggie garden is looking better and better. I'm already growing herbs in pots.

That is very disturbing about Vitamin C. I buy a lot of vitamins/supplements from companies that only sell through medical practitioners, but one of the most important -- coriolus -- comes from a Chinese source. It's something like $25 a pop.

There's a Japanese version, too, put together in a different form. But it's $60 a bottle.

Arrrgghh....
