Oh my goodness, NOT again!
Warning issued on dog treats
Veterinarians warn of China-made jerky treats
More about jerky treats

Exactly why is anyone still buying pet foods/treats made in China?

Also found this article about Jerky Treats from Wal-Mart - dated a month ago, so I'm not sure its related, but I still wanted to post the info:

Wal-Mart Stifles Recall Of Chinese Jerky Treats For Dogs - Makes me re-think shopping at Wal-Mart. If I could find GA post cards anywhere else, I wouldn't. I have been trying to do my own personal boycott of items made in China. More of a experiment to see if I could do that, since so much is made there these days. I have slipped a time or two and picked up something (a couple of rubber stamps and some stickers) without checking first. But I can tell you for sure I haven't bought anything edible labelled from China.

ITA with Cdbga...we are having trouble finding things not from China. Went into the pet store to get toys for the boys and they were all made in China except the Kong toys. We paid more for the Kong toys rather than buy something we have no idea what it is made of.

I'm wondering also Supergranny, if it might not be an interesting idea to let companies/stores know why I'm not buying their products. Just a letter saying what I would have purchased, but didn't because they were made in China and that I ended up buying a competitor's higher priced product, because I was willing to pay more for non-China goods. I don't imagine it would make much difference just from me, but if a lot of people were doing it, it just might. As much as I like Party City, it is pointless to even go in there, because pretty much everything in the store is made in China. I did an exhaustive amount of shopping today and checked every single label. Put back quite a few things, too.

I was at a brunch the other day, a Teddy Bear brunch where we had to bring a TB. I took a poll of where all the bears were born...3 in Korea and 7 in China.

On the news last night the Portland areas only luxury yacht builder is pulling up stakes and taking his factory to China. He cannot compete any more as about all yacht makers are in China...cheap labor. There went about 60 local jobs.

I get very frustrated trying to find American-made goods as well. The problems with China worry me.

Okay y'all, I was just surfing Georgia tourism sites looking for a source for postcards and I found the strangest thing...an article about all these Chinese companies that are setting up manufacturing plants in the US. So odd to me...seems like all the US companies are sending their work to China, while China is now building its plants here. And GA apparently has quite a partnership with them. Just...unexpected really.
