Another recall from another Chinese product

I can't remember if it was yesterday or the other day that another product from China was being recalled in different countries. The said product, sponge bob notebooks, have been said to have high lead content in their metal spiral binder.

According to the news, exposure to high lead content can cause severe brain damage to children, and that it should be noted that other countries are doing it for the safety of their citizens, and not a discrimination of the Chinese products.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Excessive amounts of lead paint on toys and other children's products led the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission to issue a recall of more than 300,000 Chinese-made items on Wednesday.

The recall includes about 250,000 SpongeBob SquarePants address books and journals because they may have excessive levels of lead paint on their metal spiral bindings.

Not that I'm into condemning Chinese products, but it should be noted however that it is the safety of all individuals using their products are involved, primarily the children. Children are the most vulnerable victims of this kinds of products, and parents are not willing to just sacrifice the life of their child through a mere notebook with poisonous content!

This is a wake-up call to the Chinese Government. Please, safety first, before anything. Try to be considerate with the rest of the world!
