China's Product-Safety Recalls
In 2008, China's largest provider of milk powder recalled 700 tons of baby formula after one child died and more than 50 others developed kidney problems. Melamine, a chemical used in the making of plastic, was found in the baby formula; it later emerged that unscrupulous manufacturers had been adding it to food products to cheaply boost protein values. Two men were eventually sentenced to death for their role in the scam. The revelations only further damaged China's reputation in production. Melamine had been a problem a year earlier, in March 2007, when the FDA recalled more than 60 million cans of cat and dog food after the death of 14 pets. In addition to spoiling food, Chinese-made toys were recalled later in 2007; Mattel took several of its Barbie and Polly Pocket products off the shelves because of concerns over toxic lead paint and hazardous magnet parts.
中國(guó)食品安全召回事件
2008年，中國(guó)最大的奶粉生產(chǎn)商在一名兒童死亡并且發(fā)現(xiàn)超過(guò)50個(gè)兒童發(fā)展成腎結(jié)石后宣布召回700噸兒童配方奶粉。三聚氰胺，一種用于制造塑料的化學(xué)添加劑，在這種兒童配方奶粉中被發(fā)現(xiàn)了。調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)無(wú)良的制造商為了能廉價(jià)達(dá)到蛋白含量標(biāo)準(zhǔn)而將三聚氰胺添加到奶粉中。最終二人因?yàn)樗麄兤墼p行為而被判死刑。這件事情的曝光影響了中國(guó)未來(lái)在制造業(yè)的聲譽(yù)。三聚氰胺曾經(jīng)在2007年3月因?yàn)?4只寵物的死亡而被美國(guó)食品藥物監(jiān)督局召回了600萬(wàn)罐。除了中國(guó)的問(wèn)題食品，中國(guó)制造的玩具也曾在2007年后半年被召回。美國(guó)玩具制造商Mattel因?yàn)槿藗儗?duì)有毒鉛涂料和含有危險(xiǎn)磁部件有所擔(dān)憂而讓部分芭比娃娃和波利口袋下架。
