China Reacts to Delta Crib Recall

As we follow developments on the Delta crib recall front on our attorney blog, we hear that the Chinese foreign ministry is expressing its willingness to “listen to complaints, and find out what exactly are the problems”.

Xinhuanet.com, is reporting on the first reactions of the Chinese authorities, who are already battling a tainted milk crisis that’s had people all over the world swearing off Beijing-made chocolates, to this Delta crib recall crisis.

This is not the first time that Chinese products have been involved in costly and exhaustive recalls in the US, and we fear it won’t be the last. Considering how many of our goods are now being produced overseas, and the lax regulation standards of our own officials who seem to have perfected the “knee jerk reaction” into a fine art form, there is enough to suggest that there will be more lead tainted products, defective cribs, dangerous toys and other product recall stories from China.

Although it’s tempting to blame poor foreign adherence to quality as the prime cause of this most recent crib recall, we must ask ourselves why our own authorities aren’t working round-the-clock to make sure that products that reach our shores are as safe as we expect them to be. Why is Delta guilty of not bothering to check each and every piece of crib equipment that it produces overseas, before these are passed on to unwary consumers? Why is the CPSC so slow to act with announcing and implementing crib recalls? At this crib recall lawyer blog, we, like anxious parents around the country, continue to wait for answers.
