Meanwhile, we have been following the issue of defective and, sometimes, dangerous imports making their way into this country from China. The recalled Cooks Outdoor® BBQ Grills, imported by JCPenney Purchasing Corp. were manufactured in China and are just one of many recalls and issues concerning defective products, food, and medicines imported into this country from China. Such defective imports have been making headlines in recent years and the recalled Cooks Outdoor® BBQ Grills is just another one of many such issues.
In 2008, nearly 80 percent of all product recalls in the U.S. involved imports from China. Products such as dog food, baby formula, toys with lead paint, and even pharmaceuticals like heparin were found to have been made with toxic materials and other counterfeit ingredients that have long put American consumers at significant health risks. Also making news is the ongoing and massive Chinese drywall disaster involving imports from that country.
