Are Toxic Toys Good For The Chinese Child???

BEIJING - Nearly one toy in 10 failed to pass a recent quality inspection, according to the latest sampling results released by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine.

On May 27, the administration published the results of the tests on its website, saying 20 of the 242 toys it picked at random at markets in Hebei, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Shandong, Hubei and Guangdong did not meet national mandatory quality requirements. Link
