Title: Items from China
Post by: Sis on June 05, 2008, 04:41:27 PM
Chinese Thongs sandals sold at Walmart!!!.DO NOT BUY

Be extra careful with cheap imports from china especially clothes because the Chinese are using some strong but cheap chemical in their manufacturing. Cheap can be expensive in the long run.

The chemical burns that people have gotten from wearing the flip flops.

whats bad with this is its hard to find something anymore that is not made in china.  I just checked through my purses and all of them say "made in china" on them.  The flipflops mom bought for me say "made in china".  We can't even find a pan set that isn't made in china.

Lots of the clothing at Walmart is made in Honduras. And most of the shirts are no longer perma press. They wrinkle like in the old days.

They used to send us quality things. Wonder if they want to kill us with flip flops? 

How did she die? Flip flop poisoning!   :laughhard:
