The recalled Trudeau Garlic Duo Slicers were manufactured in China. We have long been writing about the myriad problems associated with imports entering the United States from China and, that, in recent years, imports from China have been at the center of safety worries in the United States and other countries. Recalled products originating from China have impacted everything from medications, to children’s toys, to consumer products, such as this recall involving the Trudeau Garlic Duo Slicers.
