With recent high-profile incidents involving dangerous goods imported from China, the American media has finally begun to warn consumers about the dangers of cheaply producing goods in a country hardly known for its strict safety regulations. After spending some time digging through product recall press releases, we’ve found that the mainstream media is still only reporting the tip of the iceberg when it comes to dangerous products imported from China. Here’s a timeline we’ve created, which shows the huge amount of faulty/dangerous Chinese product scandals so far this year [this list will be regularly updated]:
January 2007

Are you concerned about the safety of "Made In China" products?
[Note: Most products on recall lists we checked were American companies' products manufactured in China, but we have chosen to mention only the incidents that seem most likely connected to problems on the Chinese side, such as dangerous/faulty materials being used in production.]

I’ve always been suspicious about “made in China” products, because of their low prices, which means to me that if their manufacturing costs are low they might probably be using substandard raw materials for their production.
I think everyone everywhere should be careful about the quality of Chinese made goods – especially medicine, food, electronic equipment, electrical appliances, and toys.
Products made in China possesess health hazard to many people.There ar many Americans who has Cancer and children with autism. American businessess should learn from this. First of all, think about this, China is a communitst country can you trust them?
Cheap is not good! There is russian example http://litemoney.blogspot.com/2008/05/5000.html – Dangerous Chinese Products in Russia
Don’t ask me why but maybe Marks & Spencer in England always sold goods “Made in the U.K.” and the quality was so excellent and clothes last so long (value for money), I know as I have a lot and some are over 10 years of age and as good as new virtually and yet products and clothes in M & S now are so cheap and the quality is not the same and many people are complaining about the lack of quality and do not like buying goods from the store any longer. It is awful how many companies are closing down and sending their work abroad to India, Japan and CHINA and so many people in this country etc are losing their jobs and who knows maybe having to sell their properties are they cannot get a job earning the same money etc.
It is about time this country realised that having so many products sent over to the U.K, America etc is not doing the environment any good.
Anyone who says, “what about other countries” and shit like that is copping out. Sure, we should worry about other countries, but the Chinese are currently the biggest threat to America, it’s citizens, it’s children, it’s environment, and it’s pets!! Fake Heparin (an anticoagulant used for reducing blood clots)what the hell is next (I believe that this came from China, as usual)!?! All jobs and products should have stayed in American where they were built way safer and more effective AND they actually help OUR economy (the idiotic and incompetent FDA is another issue). Please tell me what the hell can American citizens do to stop outsourcing, importing from retarded nations, and borrowing money from these countries with a wish to kill us due to our own current incompetent administration!?
I just read some of the other comments and boy are some people idiots, no wonder these countries get away with all this bullshit. America did not ever need Asian countries to survive (maybe other than Radioshack and Nintendo!). It is not necessarily American companies producing bad products, as it is the current American government outsourcing with no concern for it’s own citizen’s safety. America used to make good cars with real metal, until they gave it all away to Asian countries. Also, Asian spies stole computer chips from IBM many years ago that enabled them to produce “more effective” electronic crap. The American dollar means nothing anymore, because all these backward countries have a say in our economy (that many hard-working and caring immigrants helped to achieve for many years)due to the Bush administration and spending trillions on a bullshit war. We should have been looking for other renewable resources, we WERE an independent country for the most part. I am going to medical school, and it is disgusting how Asians, Indians, and other citizens from other countries can get a bullshit degree there and come to America and get these competitive jobs without barely knowing a word of english! Would all these countries give us these same opportunities (to basically medically kill people)?! China used to leave their baby girls out in the woods to die horribly, because they hated females in general, but all you people talk about how great they are and how they deserve to inherit America? All you hear about is Germany and the Nazis, but yet the Japanese just bombed Pearl Harbor in what 1942? Wait until some of you people are sick in the hospital with some foreign doctor who can’t spell “America” in charge of YOUR life, then tell me what to believe! I also worked for Social Services and immigrants receive full benefits without question, but if an American who broke his leg goes in for help (after working 20 years) they usually are not able to receive help, because they made too much money in the past! This country is all messed up now, and a huge improvement would be to bring America back to America and reinstate some benefits for American citizens who have worked for years, while getting screwed over to help other countries out. Maybe some of you people want to say this article is bullshit, but I appreciate this website for telling the TRUTH about a problem that needs fixing. Go cry somewhere else and double check the facts yourself, if it doesn’t compare every other country to your satisfaction, you’re just skirting around the issue and playing games.
One more thing, then stick a fork in me. Has anyone ever noticed how the adult cartoon South Park talks about relevant political issues in an almost hidden and very intelligent way? Please see Season 3: episode 310/Chinpoko Mon (remember all those garbage Pokemon toys, my kids will never own mind-numbing crap like that, I’d rather let them watch rated R HBO TV). It is very funny, but the implications are at least somewhat relevant. The description reads; The Japanese toy manufacturers have hidden anti-American messages in all their products, thereby enlisting children throughout the US to aid in completing their primary main objective of bombing Pearl Harbor……again. PS. I am sorry that China treats their own people like crap, but I must have forgot the nationwide vote where I could “get what I am paying for” by purposefully buying cheap, dangerous, Chinese garbage and thereby promoting the unfair treatment of the Chinese people.
And Tony Luthro f*cked & s*cked Brent Seaman/Stephens. Who killed his wife.
Gee, I wish I could say “I blew a murdering coward.”

Tony now happily imports faulty chinese made electronic components that we use in our own military.
In our military!
What what happen to made in the usa? Should we just buy all our weapons from them as well?
Which makes me think, why did we bother fighting communism back in the past?
Ban importation of anything chinese. Period.
I happen to be a foreigner living in China. I have been out there and bought their toys. Yes, sorry, but they are junk and very unsafe. I have found that unfortunately, all those toys that contain high amounts of lead and have sharp parts, pieces that break and cause harm, etc…you know, all the stuff that was pulled from the lines. Well, its still being sold. It gets sold to all the thousand of shops strewn all over China. I have completely stopped buying any childrens toys because of the numerous and unbelievable safety hazards. Not only the expats children are in danger, so are the local children. I hope that regulations get stricter here, and soon, for everyones sake. Yes, the states may have received some crappy product, but believe me, the worst is still kept over here folks. Don’t blame the workers. They are good people just trying to make an honest living, by making what they are told. Blame the bigwigs that own the companies !
the chinese are tying to kill everyone that isn’t chinese, with their shitty-cheaply made product that are made from hazardous chemicals
I am looking for anyone who might have information on furniture purchased from China. I purchased a sofa and immediately began to feel sick. I need any other case or associated information, so I can fight the merchant for my refund.
Thank you, my email is [email protected]
To all the idiots who are defending chinese products and/or complaining about other countries: No one is saying that China is the only country that produces dangerous products. But this is a “made in china” article. If you want to complain about mexico or some other country, then make your own website. As far as “HKMulligan’s” comment. No this info is not useless. dangerous goods are dangerous goods – period. It doesn’t matter how many other products were not recalled. Especially when these companies knew beforehand and kept selling them. There is no excuse for that.
Sorry Rick Tan, but you’re wrong. These are chinese companies (not U.S. based companies) that sell raw materials to U.S. companies or sell finished goods through U.S. distributors. Nice try.
I can’t believe people are defending a goverment that poisons it’s own people (as well as others), brutally represses dissidents, and is committing genocide in Tibet. Gimme a break. You can whine that other countries do the same thing, but I’m not defending those governments either. They all SUCK.
yeah, I live in Indonesia and our products are much better than those chinese shit! they all a big f*** deceivers & will undermine all countries in this world by sending their stupid uneducated cabbage face spread around the world to collapse your economic structure..
You know the bottom line is… We need to take back production of products for Americans. We have to monitor what is being sold to our citizens. ALL these imported items come from countries with horrid inspection regulations. NAFTA no SHAFTA thats what we are all getting when it coming to imported goods. Bring the companies home and start watching out for our products ourselves. Wow! What a concept work for Americans.
Al the the godless commies loving dems can piss and moan and blame Bush & Cheney all they want. The real criminal is Bill Clinton and NAFTA. Its funny how Wal-Mart, the biggest commie organization in the US is HQ’d in Arkansas, whre evil Bill Clinton was Gov. What happened to it being our job to bomb the yellow man back to the stone age. Instead we just throw American money and jobs at the dirty, godless bastards. We are letting these inferior bastards get the lead on us. It’s time for America to Kick Ass again and TAKE BACK WHAT IS OURS. F*%K the Sliny Commie Bastards. KILL A COMMIE FOR MOMMIE BETTER DEAD THAN RED!!! Its also painfully obvious that anyone here that actually supports the importation of inferior asian products to the U.S. is probably invested heavily in and profits obscenely from it. You greedy slobs will do anything for money. F&*c You and China to REAL AMERICANS HATE CHINA AND ALL OF IT’S DANGEROUS IMPORTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Made in China means that the product must be very rotten.
Only idiot buy the product what made in China.
I find it very concerning that there are so many products being recalled from China. Personally I don’t care how many products are produced verses how many are recalled. The fact that almost every month something is being recalled should be enough to cause alarm. We shouldn’t have to worry about our children getting sick from clothing or food.
Our dog got sick from chicken jerky made in China. There are a lot of chicken jerky products out there for dogs, the majority of which are Made in China. Watch out, since these 3 little words are usually in very small print on the back of packages of American companies which pack the toxic treats. We did find one that is made in America which our dog loves! I don’t know if its okay to post here but its called Kona’s Chips at http://www.konaschips.com
Also, check out Lacie’s Site at http://www.laciessite.org for some really sad stories on dogs who have died and become seriously ill from chicken jerky from China.
If you are feeding your dog a chicken jerky product, check the package for those deadly 3 words!
I have been trying to find a product recall service. This is the best site I have found. Thanks for the valuable product recall service.
I just bought some halloween gummy candies to decorate a halloween cake for my grandchildren, once I got home I noticed that they were all made in China! I can’t use them only to find out after my loved ones have eaten them that they should have been recalled. When one country has sent out so many inferior and poison products why would our country still allow those products to be sold in our stores? Is it because all Chinese products are sold at discount stores and our elitest leaders don’t care what happens to the poorer citizens? I personally will check for the origin of every product before I purchase it from now on and I will be boycotting China.
There is only one way to make the point to the chinese
and that is not to buy their products.
The only thing that will make them sit up and take notice is a large reduction in their sales revenue,
Since the milk problem was known about ,in china, about
11 months ago and not disclosed or ignored then one can assume that derivatives of the milk powder are throughout the food chain.
Rod
If a country had such a poor track record of dangerous
products you could, under normal circumstances, assume that the USA would ban all imports from that country ?.
However since the Chinese are financing a large part
of the 10 Trillion Dollar American Debt (Yes I did mean Trillion) the Americans dare not say anything
to the Chinese.
In Philippines, its our time to give our attention now to our native products. we know its more safe and no chemical contaminated unlike those dangerous chinese-made products. The chinese people (the government and whoever makes the products) should be more attentive and alert in making products that they will import so that it not only help and secure every consumers’ health, but as well as the good stability of their business.
I have found various products made in China to emit a strange chemical odor….heating pads, Christmas ornaments made of plastic,etc. Someone needs to be checking to see what the chemical is. Chemical warefare???
I am boycotting products made in China as I do not like China’s polical leadership. I do not know why we are supporting such a horrible country.
Many of their products contain poison and due to the greed of American retailers they are presented to the public.
I do without alot of things as so many products are made in China. The consumer does not have a choice with the origin of the products he/she is searching for. Try finding ladies sleepware at TJ Max, Marshalls or Ross’s that is not made in China. Its really awful how so many products have flooded the market from China with our polical leaders blessings.
I was very concerned that the UL logo and ETL logo were on some of these products. I am learning to be an electrician and the UL logo has always been considered to be sacred. Someone is asleep at the switch.
All your phones, computers and ipods are made in china. And $300 could support a poor chinese family for a year. I dare you chinese product haters to boycott these goods for year year and see where it gets you. Go on, I dare you.
They weren’t always in the past, you f***ing idiot, Jeanie. Have you been paying attention?, actually who cares about you-you suck. Actually many technological products were made in Japan in the past and they were better quality. All of you whineasses like you, Jeanie, should be shot into space or buried in a lead filled Chinese landfill so we don’t have to hear your loser dumba** thoughts. What, too hard to buy American/European? Why would anyone buy something from a country that you basically know is going to harm your children or at the very least stop working correctly in no time? Why don’t you personally support the Chinese? My hypothesis is that you are a f***ing retard whom only cares about herself. I have been boycotting Chinese products for years, what are you gonna do about it? God forbid, someone support their failing economy by not buying products that will kill everyone and pollute the world-what are we thinking? Get a life you f***ing loser B****.
the american companies provide specifications for the products to be manufactured in china, however, the chinese manufacturers are cutting costs by using cheap, but dangerous ingredients/contents. And they are misrepresenting to the USA companies that have employed them. USA companies have higher standards in producing products, the chinese producers ignored our requirements and sold “bad/contaminated” stuff. It all boils down to one thing……MONEY.
Screw China!!!!!! What I just read up there was not a list of Faulty products it was a record of Attacks!. Their engineers are smart enough to create their own alloys, machines and all the systems required yet they didn’t know lead was poisinous? Sound like BS to me. We can’t afford to be as ignorant as we are………..
I found this article after reading about the drywall from China emitting dangerous toxic fumes in Florida homes. Why bother getting CHEAP CRAP from China when it costs so much in the long run (not just in money but the lives of people and pets)?
Good call on that Bob & Rob! I had just seen info about the drywall too. How hilarious that before it was toxic lead and now it is toxic sulfur byproducts and wastes that America & other countries are building all their walls with! The funny thing is, usually both the American and the Chinese companies do not lose shit because it is very difficult to sue these companies because of many reasons like lawyers who are too scared to do their jobs when it counts and because “China is too far away”. I’ve heard this shit a lot, they are not too far away to send us bullshit products and kill all of us, but they are too far away to face the consequences. I think anyone responsible for any of these products should be put away for life for hurting thousands of people, if not millions. Here is a website on chinese (a synonym for toxic, cheap, & faulty products now) drywall: http://www.chinesedrywall.com/. Shoot them all.
i start right away by expressing my revulsion towards state socialism (the term soviet means “socialist people”)which enslaved over half the planet by a form of colonialism more brutal and controlling than the monarchies they overthrew).the ideology sounds good to those who don`t care about individual rights and and are control freaks enough to want concentration and centralization of power, while claiming”this is for your own good”,when we all know this growth in government power always ends in systematic corruption(absolute power corrupts absolutely) -China is the perfect example.
The solution-STOP BUYING MADE IN CHINA crap.we should stop exporting our manufacturing jobs to the world’s worst violator
,there are many other asian countries who have far higher ethical and quality standards and could agree to actually buy(instead of copying)some of our manufactured goods in exchange.
We can actually precipitate a political collapse in the chinese regime if we can convince the G20 to cut trade with china-the anti free market protesters can go to hell-those are the assholes who if they gained control would imprison us in labour camps for saying anything politically incorrect.
they consider any economic activity wrong and people evil for not giving away their life savings to third generation welfare recipients .in short , they want to destroy our economic system and impose a cuba type lifestyle on us (why the f**k don”t they just move there?) when all we need is better ethical trade and banking rules to improve the system that people escape TO, not from!
Hi All,
I came from Malaysian and I have been working in China for quality management for past 7 years. I fully agreed with all of your concerns on China products’ quality.
However, >50% of products are coming from this giant manufacturer now. We have to face this as a fact and handle it wisely.
Solution for you! I have a group of engineers and QA, who can help you to perform audit buyoff before the products leave China. If anyone of you are interested in this services, please contact me. [email protected]
Your sincerely,
Kent
The reason we keep importing from China is because of our previous Government & Obama’s trillion dollar deficit.
China owns the United States and there is nothing “We the People” can do about it.
The problem is STUPID AMERICANS!!!!!!!!!!!! They don’t care that the corrupt Marxist capitalist government moved the manufacturing base to China. WAKE UP YOU DUMB IDIOTS! TAKE ACTION! LOL like that will happen. AmeriKaw is dead.
These comments just keep getting worse and worse. The topic is on Made-In-China products, not its government or its people. If you really want to hate on your Eastern friends or “kill all chinks”, you can either become a politician and change the perverse trade flux between China and America or join the KKK and shoot yourself. Having read these comments, I see that the latter is much more likely.
Boycott Chinese made goods if you will, but is it necessary? Perhaps not. Just use common sense when buying your goods. You should probably be able to tell the difference between cheaply made children’s toys and your better made “Western” duplicates. And if you can’t, your stupidity calls for a punishment. If you still can’t trust the (whatever you’re getting), do as the (paranoid?) people above are doing and ditch the item completely. In my experience, no matter where an item, a piece of furniture, or what comes from I would personally scrutinize the quality to see if bad or passable.
And no, America is not dead. At worst the country will relegate it’s position to that of contemporary Europe (perhaps?).

It’s time for America to Install an Embargo on “All Chinese Product Imported Into The U.S.” until U.S. Inspectors can Approve All Manufacturinf and Packaging and Shipping of these Products That Ensure their Safety to American Buyers!
God forbids all made in china because all made in china is tainted:

Repent and convert to God and Catholicism, because punishment is near!
Bought a dinnerware set which I have been using for the last year. Last night my daughter left a spoon in the bottom of a pan with a bit of water. This morning it looked like there were apricot rings around the spoon. Turning the spoon over I found a ragged hole in the back of the spoon which showed a dark base metal interior. Am going to the store later to get a lead testor, but am afraid I know what I will find. I bought this set at our local Wal-Mart, where I will also be going to find the lead testor. It says “stainless” on the reverse side and China. Notice it doesn’t say stainless steel! Check your dinnerware folks.
I bought one year ago enamelware from Ross that did not have an unsafe for food label on. Today put boiling water in one of the containers that I have been using to store food in the refrigerator for about 3 months and it bubbled up..when I checked it came off and was like a rubberized paint. This product came from China. I’m usually very careful but know an awful lot about enamelware. This obviously is not “enamelware”. Now I’m online trying to find out how to combat the effects of possible lead poisoning.
@ WOOHOO!!
“And no, America is not dead. At worst the country will relegate it’s position to that of contemporary Europe (perhaps?).”
You’re kidding right? Norway is by far the richest and most advanced country in the world per inhabitant. Not only does the country produce more money per inhabitant, but it has savings of 600 billion dollars. That is 625.000 dollars that can be handed out in cash to every single person in the country, and still not have foreign debt.
What about the US? You are living on borrowed money.
Why should we have to test everything coming in from China – that is stupid talk!!and not feasible. The Chinese have proven to be dishonest so I say BAN everything coming in from China and consumers, such as myself should read the label and if it says “made in China” DON’T BUY IT! it’s that simple. No second chance for China.
If you ask me, the Chinese imported goods have become of a better quality than they did in the past. They are produced cheaply because of cheap labor, but in technology, for example, the products are very good.
The people of China have a very strong business culture with a good work ethic and a desire to excel in the business world. The Chinese people are innovative and well educated and are always looking for new development, working on their trade standards, or perfecting an existing product, so China’s market place is very professional. I don’t see how products could be of low standards.
If you ask me, China passed beyond this status a long time. It has proved in many areas ( industry, manufacturing, printing, software) that it is very developed and its products are of an excellent quality.
Made in China is not dangerous anymore, if you ask me. After all, China is a preferred source of goods and services because of the relatively low cost of
manufacturing and raw materials available there, but the final products are developed somewhere else.
WELL,WELL,WELL. ARE’T WE SO PERFECT!!! we as the great americans want everthing our way with no problems.Well it is our consuming and demanding practices that have gotten us to the sitiuation were at right now. If the wallstreet richy’s arent screwing us enough, the u.s. allows everbody and his uncle to buy these 2nd rate products, ship them in bulk, and set their shops up to sell to the poor public.I live and work in China and purchace mostly Chinese products made for Chinese. These products are of good quality and last longer than what our own U.S. companies import to the American public. They only build products of this calliber because the great American companies do not want to pay taxes, insurance, and high wages to the people of America. Bottom line is these companies have their own inspectors at every company in china that builds products for them, and thay could care less what happens to the American consumer. Wake up America it isn’t China dragging this country down , it’s your rich corporate American bullies who intend on staying rich at the middle and lower class’ exspence.
