With the rapid economic growth of China in the last one and half decades, there is a made in China product in almost every household in the World. This high demand for "Made in China" products is bolstered by the fact that they are cheap compared with similar products made in the developed countries. However, recently Chinese made products are making the headlines for all the wrong reasons. The high demand for "made in China products" has caused the Chinese to compromise on quality and safety. This has raised alarms all over the world. It has been discovered that many Chinese exports particularly food products to many parts of the world have been tainted with chemicals not approved for human consumption. Counterfeit Chinese made medicine is killing people all over the world. In Japan, last year, a Chinese made dietary supplement sickened about a thousand people and killed about five people. Imported Chinese toys are found to have high levels of toxicity. These are toys for children and children are likely to put anything into their mouths. This requires that products made for children should be very safe and producers and regulators must both adhere to very high safety standards.
