Another day... another problem with a baby item made in China.  A watchdog group says some vinyl bibs sold at Toys R Us and Babies R Us contain lead three times over the limit allowed in paint.  That is outrageous.  What is next?  I use these bibs everyday with my 1 year old.  Today is the last day.  This is not a recall... simply a test done by a consumer watchdog group.  In May, the Consumer Product Safety Commission warned parents about the dangers of vinyl bibs.  It said if they become cracked, they could be dangerous if toddlers chew on them.

Made in China.
Downfall of the american people.
China,India,Mexico,Sri Lanka just to name of few call their customer service and guess what not only will you not get any satisfaction you will also risk becoming a victim of identity theft.

This is crazy....my husband works for a company that has contacts in china he has said that they are so family loyal that even if you specify one thing they will try to stay loyal to family and support them even if it means sacrificing quality. Fortunately for my husbancd company they own there company over there.

it is very scary I think, i have 4 small children at home maybe mr_wild has a point- made in the USA

"Made in the USA" is a relative term these days.
Take Detroit automobiles for instance...cars & trucks "made in the USA" (Ford, GM etc) have more foreign parts than many may think.
Japanese vehicles like Toyota & Honda are becoming very popular here in the States and many of which are made right here in the USA.

I'll continue to drive my "American made" Dodge with its many Mitsubishi parts. As far as I know, my Harley is more American than foreign. And soon will be buying an "American made" Ford truck. So I try.

It's a shame really...fine American craftsmanship is becoming a thing of the past making way for cheaper, quickly mass produced junk.

That's why I'm screaming for us as a nation to boycott China!

You're right T-Money! Even if it says made in America, the parts may not be from here! We have to change that too! Every product must be clearly marked!

It's enough to make you want to put your child in a plastic bubble to protect them. Oh wait, plastic can give off toxins too... well, never mind.
