More from the dreaded land of toy production, but this one is ridiculous:

GHB fears for Chinese-made toys
The US and Australia recall Chinese-made toys containing a substance linked to date-rape drug GHB.

This was recalled yesterday from Britain also!
It's very worrying as a parent to see that so many things over the last few months have been recalled for being dangerous, most of them having been made in China
Exactly what are the Chinese thinking of -toys meant for young children containing date-rape drug similarities?
This is more than shocking for me, and I will be looking very carefully in the future to products that I've purchased that originates from China-I think I will be steering a wide berth away from Chinese products in the future just to be on the safe side!
The problem with China's production is the lack of safety standards. Based on documentaries I have seen, taking shortcuts in manufacturing seems to be a normal thing for the Chinese.From first hand experience of buying Chinese toys - they break apart easily, often crack and well you know, seem to be made with less than acceptable materials.
