More Disfunctional Made In China Products

NOT OUR FAULT:

The US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced Simplicity, a baby furniture manufacturer, would recall about 1 million cribs made in China, Xinhua reported (in Chinese). The cribs have a design flaw that has caused at least two infant deaths from suffocation, said a CPSC official, who added that the recall was due entirely to design defects and is unrelated to the Chinese manufacturer. A series of recall affairs occurred in toy industry recently, some were caused by Chinese company's improper operation but most of them are caused by design problem of the US company and has nothing to do with Chinese manufacturers, said US industry insiders.

I don't watch other countries' return rates, but US importers either send Chinese manufacturers an inordinant amount of flawed plans or other countries are better at catching design flaws. Not sure.
