It sounds like they need to do a random sampling of everything to be found in Wal-Mart (branded China). Chinese products for children and others, continue to come up with disastrous results up against scientific inquiries.


I honestly was waiting for another report about the contents of Chinese products. It had simply been too long.....Thank you for the update.

Felony ThreadJacking in progress

I like talking to her because she always seems so surprised and interested in what i’m saying. That, and because she kinda looks like the old lady in Adam Sandler’s Eight Crazy Nights.

Good. You provided numbers. But that says nothing about us being poisoned by Cadnium. Which means your emotional attack is misplaced.

Where are these products that exceed, for example, that 5 microgram number? That Wikipedia citation says nothing useful. Using the same posted logic, we are all being killed also by the sun. Another claim easily proven without numbers.

Where are these 'killing Cadnium' products? That Wikipedia citation says nothing. Does not even give numbers. Even some credibility is challenged repeatedly (see "citation needed"). Your citation defines a threat limit which does not answer my accurately directed challenge. Too much of any heavy metal is dangerous - obviously. But where is Walmart cadnium killing us all? Where are those numbers? The challenge reposted in response to unsupported accusations. Where is this cadnium that is killing us all? You also did not answer that challenge.

There is cadnium in paint. So what? There is also salt in food. Therefore we are being killed by food? Nonsense. Neither fear is justified by any numbers - even Griff's.

PoWM Hall of Famer Willy the Pimp has officially “gone green”. He no longer leaves a carbon footprint, but won’t hesitate to leave that handprint across your face.

On a more serious note:

Quote:
LOS ANGELES – The country's top product safety regulator warned parents and caretakers Wednesday to take cheap metal jewelry away from children out of concern they could be exposed to toxic heavy metals such as lead and cadmium.

Writing in a blog posted Wednesday evening, the chairman of the Consumer Product Safety Commission noted that children who chew, suck on or swallow a bracelet charm or necklace may be endangering their health.

"I have a message for parents, grandparents and caregivers: Do not allow young children to be given or to play with cheap metal jewelry, especially when they are unsupervised," wrote Inez Tenenbaum, the chairman of the Consumer Product Safety Commission. "We have proof that lead in children's jewelry is dangerous and was pervasive in the marketplace. To prevent young children from possibly being exposed to lead, cadmium or any other hazardous heavy metal, take the jewelry away."

Well kids are also not supposed to be in their parents lap inside a car. A recent crash had the air bag deployed with so much violence as to damage the kid’s liver and other critical organs. How to stop parents giving small jewelry to kids? Heavy metal poisoning? Will it work?

Will scary models in short skirts get kids to eat responsibly? Does fear work?
