My charity just spent a small fortune on some useless Chinese cr*p that wasn't fully assembled and contains some unknown liquid which looks corrosive and lethal.

I saw there is a long list of dangerous products produced by the Chinese, who don't seem to give a sh*t whether they're poisoning babies, puppies or just general members of the public:

Apparently 66% of all identified dangerous products entering the EU came from China in 2010, and they expect that percentage to rise to around 70% in 2011:

The importers are to blame too, not doing proper checks and making it harder for us to identify country of origin:

Products such as coffee sachets with added milk products may contain Chinese whey powder products (to be avoided at ALL COSTS), but show the as the country of origin the point where the product was packaged, which may be different.

HERE'S A BARCODE 'READY RECKONER' WHICH MAY HELP YOU TO IDENTIFY AT LEAST SOME CHINESE PRODUCTS:

AT LEAST THEN YOU CAN MAKE A (SOMEWHAT) INFORMED CHOICE...

I've got nothing against Chinese people individually. I know quite a few and really like them. But the Chinese manufacturers need to get the message that the sort of shoddy, dangerous products they are shoving out are simply NOT OK.
