More Recalls

US retail giant Target has become the latest company to recall Chinese-made toys because of safety fears.

Another Chinese product in the United States is under scrutiny. Federal officials ordered a recall of 450,000 Chinese-made tires.

Imagine that. Offshoring production to China (or elsewhere) only results in savings if those other countries cut corners on the safety regulations that are required here in the US. Who could have imagined such a thing? It's not like Economics 101 would suggest that such a thing was likely.
