Shoddy Chinese Products: The Case of the Chinese Toothpaste, Seafood and Pet Food
Chinese business men and women do not know what to do with the bad news. Foreign governments know they have to do something to protect their populations. The U.S. government is taking measures to prevent toothpaste and seafood from killing Americans. This is a major problem for the Chinese economy. A few bad manufacturers are destroying the booming Chinese economy. What can they do? Wallstreet365Live.com is commenting on serious issues of life and death when it comes to these products that kill Haitians and Panamanians. Now Canada is warning Canadians against the use of toothpaste from China.
"The toothpaste, labelled as 100 ml Colgate Fluoride Toothpaste Herbal, Colgate Fluoride Toothpaste Maximum Cavity Protection and Colgate Fluoride Toothpaste Gel, contain high levels of harmful bacteria."
There are signs and some mistakes you can look out for. The federal agency says the counterfeit products are identifiable by spelling mistakes on labels, such as “isclinically,” “SOUTH AFRLCA” and “South African Dental Assoxiation.”
Health Canada says fever, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain are a few of the potential side effects of the tainted toothpaste. It advises anyone who has bought the counterfeit product to stop using it and see a doctor if they have any symptoms.
Who wants to mess around with contaminated foods from another country?
"The FDA said tests on some Chinese imported fish between October and May repeatedly found traces of the antibiotics nitrofuran and fluoroquinolone, as well as the antifungals malachite green and gentian violet. Of particular concern are the fluoroquinolones, a family of widely used human antibiotics that the FDA forbids in seafood — in part to prevent bacteria from developing resistance to these important drugs. The best known example is ciprofloxacin, sold as Cipro, which made headlines as a treatment during the 2001 anthrax attacks."
