More Fun From China

The toothpaste, which reportedly contains a poison used in antifreeze, has turned up in Miami, the Port of Los Angeles and Puerto Rico, according to the Times.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warned consumers on Friday that toothpaste imported from China could contain diethylene glycol (DEG), the same substance used as a solvent in antifreeze. The Administration advises that any toothpaste with the label be thrown away because excess exposure to DEG could be harmful.

There have not yet been any reported cases of problems from Chinese-made toothpaste in the United States, but deaths and injuries have been reported in other countries as a result of consumption of DEG through cough syrups and acetaminophen syrup..."

Sooner or later, the citizens of commie land are going to demand a piece of the action. Doesn't help matters that the average chinaman hasn't a clue that his lawless government is poisoning the world, but some day he will. I should admit right off the bat that I've had more than one tangle with Chicoms and so did my father before me. Our consensus was that they were undisciplined, inaccurate, but generally speaking good enough troops as long as CHARGE was the only thing asked of them. It says something about our way of life, that free men make the best fighters, and part of that is because there is actually something to defend beyond the nebulous mother or father-land.

China is due for one helluva hard fall. Overdue.
