Congress addressing Chinese currency manipulation is "nice," but, it's posturing compared to yet the latest made-in-China dangerous crap issue - Fisher-Price toys.
The US recall includes some 11 million toys. Isn't that enough for Congress to do something?
Meanwhile, showing the length and strength of China's export muscle (and the currency issue as a sidebar). the recall extends to India.
And, safe toy crusader Edward Swartz may have died last month, but it's Fisher-Price that will "die" on his organization's upcoming 2010 list of Top 10 worst toys.
In addition to addressing Chinese manipulation of the yuan, isn't it time we insisted on inspecting products made there, before they even get put on a ship?
No, it may not move many toy jobs back to the U.S. But, it might, just might, force some U.S. toy companies to lower top exec salaries here if they're going to keep importing crap, rather than backing such a measure.
