Me Chinese, me play joke

This should come as absolutely no surprise to anyone...
1 in 7 Chinese toys a danger
A NEW report shows about one in seven toys made in China fail to meet Chinese government standards.
And experts fear the shoddy items are showing up on shelves in North America.
It took these guys a while to figure out what everyone with a neck knows; Chinese products are shit. It's all complete junk, but it seems North American consumers can't get enough of Chinese crap, so we buy about a bizillion dollars worth of toys every year from China. I know the toys are crap, you know the toys are crap, even the Chinese know their stuff is crap, but it's cheap, right? See how cheap it is to have a wheel from a faulty toy car removed from your child's windpipe, then you'll buy American again.
China is the world's dominant toy producer, accounting for about 75% of the global market.
That sickens me to no end, I'm actually vomiting in my own mouth when I see that. Imagine, a child friendly country like China(where it is against the law to have more than one super fun happy child)is the world leading producer of children's toys. Upchuck.
Here are some tips to avoid toy hazards:

- Look for a manufacturer name and address. It's safer than buying "no name" products.

- Check the warning label. Look for conflicting information and ungrammatical English.

- Beware of extraordinary bargains.

- Be suspicious of products sold by street merchants or other transient retailers.

- Check for loose parts, broken pieces or sharp edges.

- Use a cardboard toilet-paper roll to test for choking hazards for children under 3. If the item gets through, it fails.
I'll make it even simpler for you. Do you want a tip to avoid toy hazards? Don't buy Chinese products.

The last time I checked, China was still one of the most repressive regimes in the universe, stop buying their cheap shit. That was easy.

One last thing, you want to know why Chinese toys are so bad? It's because they're most likely made by Chinese children. If you like cheap, broken, dangerous sweat shop toys, by all means buy Chinese. If you prefer quality toys, then it's best to avoid Chinese toys at all costs...unless you're fond of seeing your child's eye poked out by a faulty product.
