Wal-Mart

When the first Wal-Marts opened they proudly boasted of American-made products. But now almost 75% of their products are from foreign countries. Wal-Mart has become the dumping ground of cheaply made products that are sometimes dangerous to your pets and children. And they aren’t overly generous in the pay and benefits area either. Do you think we are cutting our own throats?

Time magazine reports that....

"More than 60 million cans of cat and dog food were recalled owing to 16 pet deaths"

"The FDA ordered recalls after a poisonous ingredient was found in toothpaste"

"More than 1.5 milion imported toy trains were made using lead paint"

"Nearly 450,000 tires were recalled in June because of potential tread separation"
