Reason # 87644872622 Not to Buy Chinese Products -- Asbestos in the Baby Powder

This time it's baby powder contaminated with asbestos. Good grief.

You can add this to the previous baby milk disaster as part of China's consumer war on babies. Or not. I only wish it were satire.

The standing PSA of this blog? Don't buy food or personal care items from China! From poisoned dumplings to poisoned toothpaste, the lesson seems to be: if the thing even comes close to your body, make sure it's not made in China or has components sourced from the same.

Oh, check it out: the news story (sort of) appears on the CCTV website. Notice how the circumstances are -- and are not -- described.
