Metal Found In Candy From Rockville Importer
>
According to the story:
The two pieces of candy that had metal in them were purchased from two separate Dollar General stores near Lakeland, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said Thursday evening.The candy was packaged as part of a product called Pokemon Valentine Cards and Pops, which is imported from China, he said. The Food and Drug Administration is also investigating the candy.
No injuries have been reported and it was unclear whether the metal was intentionally placed in the candy. Judd said the lollipops did not appear to be tampered with and it appeared the metal was baked into the candy in China.
The authorities say that Sherwood is cooperating fully in this matter.

Are we really that surprised? Now that we’ve outsourced the manufacture of every possible item we use, and have lost total control of quality, this is what we end up with. >
Try finding ANY kids toys made anywhere that is “not China.” We as a country have become lazy and arrogant. Lazy because we let other people make our “stuff,” doing the jobs that we could just be doing ourselves. Arrogant that we just hand off the environmental problems that come with manufacturing, polluting those countries instead of ours. Go on, make yourself feel good, buy that Prius hybrid car…then buy as much plastic garbage from China as you can fit into the trunk.
