Interestingly, the presence of toxic substances were not confined to toys and kids products. House-hold products, pvc products used for interior furnishing and plumbing, etc, all come in the list. With the use of imported PVC products rapidly increasing in our day to day lives, its a question that how safe is the water we drink or the air we breath under a PVC false ceiling.
Statistics reveal a hidden agenda behind the entire scenario. The presence of toxins and hazardous substances are not simply accidental.
Back in June 2007, The New York Time reported about a state-owned company in China exporting diethylene glycol, a syrupy poison, used in some antifreeze, as safe pharmaceutical-grade glycerin. Eventually, the US had been importing a lot of Chinese glycerin, which is used in ingested products such as toothpaste. A decare later, Chinese-made diethylene glycol was mixxed into medicine that killed at least 100 people in Panama. Chinese tooth paste containing that toxin was found in the US and seven other countries.
