"Stop Using Consumers as Guinea Pigs"

The thing I find interesting about the whole China thing is that the head guy of the company that was selling tainted baby formula to people in China was sentenced to death. This penalty is only reserved for people who sell tainted goods in China. Exports are not included in this category.

That would add to a big list. Many don't read or look at the list of pros and cons. Just the one "pro", it's cheaper.
