A disturbingly lengthy list of products, produced in China, that have been recalled _just in 2007_. Lead paint figures prominently.
I don't want to point the finger at China particularly, as I don't know that their regulations of such things are any more (or less) stringent than any other country from which the US is buying cheap goods; we need to think about ways of coping with this sort of thing that aren't country-specific. But food for thought in the short term, nonetheless.
