Moral: Don't buy any electrical appliances or potentially
dangerous/fire producing items that are made in China. I am not
kidding. This is not the first time I've run into this. Some of the
products being made in China are dangerous. There is obviously no
production or quality control in some of their manufacturing facilities.

When I heard about poison (melamine) in infant formula, I learned all I
need to know about manufacturing in China.

I heard something interesting, perhaps on NPR, the Chinese prefer foreign
brands because the perceived quality. Seemed a little odd to me, as most
of those "foreign" brands are manufactured in China.
