If you ask me, there should be no “safe” limit for lead in anything touched or eaten by consumers on a regular basis. Lead should be banned from use in consumer products. It used to be that people just read food labels on products to see what is in them. I read all labels on everything I buy, tools, appliances or anything I touch. If you read the fine print on many product labels, it tells you in black and white, (too small for most people to see) “this product contains lead”. I walked out of a hardware store the other day when the three things I wanted to buy all contained lead, and said so right on the label! Along with, “Wash Hands after use” “Made in China” by an American company.
Walmart should of just said, sorry we missed this, took the product off the shelf, and we’ll be more careful next time, and let it go. But now they threw logs on their own fire.

[…] Emily Huh wrote an interesting post today on Wal-Mart Threatens Legal Action After Lab Finds Lead, Other Toxins …Here’s a quick excerptExpertox, a Texas lab, claimed that they found elevated levels of lead, chromium, and cadmium in two Wal-Mart pet toys. But Wal-Mart said the lab has â€œseverely misinterpretedâ€ the results. Expertox stands by their findings and said … […]

Not surprised about this. Did you know more than 70 percent of goods on Wal-Martâ€™s shelves come from China?

My organization at WakeUpWalMart released a scathing report that illustrates Wal-Mart’s too close for comfort relationship with China. Scary stuff.

Concha Castaneda says: “Hope our athletes take their own food with them when they do the olympics. I wonâ€™t be watching.”

I was watching a CNN show on the Olympics in China. The broadcaster said that food and water would be brought in especially for the Olympic village since bottled water in China is not safe to drink.
I wonder if people going to the Olympics realize how unsafe water will be even if its bottled thinking its OK to drink. Also the food…..Yuck…….

In addition to the other heinous things about China. The practice of organ harvesting is very frightening. Over a year ago women from China with very frightened faces were passing out newspapers about the Falun Gong practitioners who get arrested for their beliefs thrown in prison and their organs harvested. They had no solutions…they did not speak English…they were just trying to get the word out. It is interesting that the Falun Gong would be targeted (possibly because the don’t smoke or drink). Their bodies are mostly toxin free. I saw these women passing out their newspaper for 4 months in a row, then they simply vanished. This was long before the pet food recall. I was appalled, but my friends and family wouldn’t even look into it. They have this much disregard for their own citizens…not too much of a stretch to see how much regard they would have for our pets or our children. Hope our athletes take their own food with them when they do the olympics. I won’t be watching.

I have already planned to watch Ugly Betty instead of Survivor in protest. I wish Survivor would just go away anyways. I hope I never have to see a Survivor 23 or a Big Brother 39. Producers, get creative and give us something new to watch. Olympics are also a no go here too. Must say, that’s the first time I will not watch them in my whole life. Never missed an opening ceremony until now.

In regards to the new Survivor being filmed entirely in China - DON’T WATCH IT AT ALL, any of it! The OLYMPICS - same thing. When broadcasters see we will not allow this into our homes nor participate in any of the products in the commercials behind these shows or buy anything it might do some good that way also. Withdraw your support and put it behind american companies with healthy, lead free, toxin free food, etc. The more support we give to them the more they will continue with business as usual and laugh at us all the way to the bank!

I know that the propaganda machine will be out in full force for the 2008 Olympics but remember the internet.
People will have cell phones with cameras which will be able to show what China really is on Youtube. Maybe websites will start up on the “Real Survivor- China”. It’s a different kind of world than the one Russia had to deal with and it’s the people who will make the difference, not the government.
There is still a lot of time before the Olympics in which this whole recall world can be exposed.
It would be funny to see how the “survivors” of Survivor China held up with their contaminated waters and air pollution. Did they suffer any side effects?

The sad part is a lot of people are truly intimidated by threats of legal action. What most people don’t realize is this sort of thing is typically pure bluff. Truth is an absolute defense against libel or slander. WalMart may be a lot of things, but stupid enough to file a suit that will get kicked out on summary judgement, with their attorneys sanctioned, and a three ring media circus to boot, isn’t one of them.

Too bad really, as there are enough media sources that hate WalMart to draw some real attention to the problem if WalMart were dumb enough to file suit.
