No executions, Yet.
But 17 life sentences so far.
A big red handed Smackdown on those responsible.
(Reuters) - Chinese police have arrested 96 people for lacing milk powder with the toxic additive melamine, state news agency Xinhua said on Thursday, the same chemical that killed several babies in a milk powder scandal in 2008.
Last July, samples of milk powder found in northwest China's Gansu and Qinghai provinces had levels of melamine up to 500 times the permitted limit, underscoring the lax enforcement of food safety in the country.
Among those arrested, 17 had been convicted, including two people sentenced to life in prison, Xinhua said, citing a statement from the State Council's Food Safety Commission.
Thirty-eight people were awaiting trial, the report said, adding that Chinese authorities had seized 2,132 tons of melamine-tainted milk powder. The remaining 41 were "under investigation in police custody". It did not elaborate further.

McDonald's recalls 12 mln Shrek-themed glasses
From Bloomberg Businessweek
The recall doesn’t affect the U.K., the company’s British press office said in an e-mailed statement today. McDonald’s is not running the promotion in Asia, its China office said in an e-mailed reply to Bloomberg questions.
First guess , they are made in China , The company Arc International of Millville, N.J , Is an American Company , and probably were not aware that their Chinese goods were being contaminated with Cadmium .
If they were made in China , then the upper quote tells a lot to my Theory that China is trying to poison us from the Inside out ! Literally .
Market Watch
the Oak Brook, Ill., burger chain, will recall 12 million U.S.-made collectible drinking glasses themed on the movie character Shrek because the painted design on the glasses contains cadmium, media reports say. McDonald's outlets are selling the glasses for about $2 each as part of a promotion for the new movie "Shrek Forever After," the reports say. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall early Friday and warned consumers to stop using the glasses, the reports say. The Associated Press reported that the glasses were produced by Arc International of Millville, N.J. Cadmium, which the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration says on its website is extremely toxic, is used in producing paint and coatings, batteries and other products.

Drywall report: China samples worst
And all the blame will still be put on National Gypsum.
And China will be told not to do it again !
South Florida Business Journal
A recent report published by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is being cited as further proof that drywall imported from China between 2004 and 2006 emits higher levels of sulfur gases than domestic supplies.
The report, dated March 2010, reiterates results of a test in which the top 10 sulfur-emitting drywall samples came from China.
The CPSC previously announced similar findings, and the new report adds to evidence of the difference between domestic and Chinese drywall.
National Gypsum, a Charlotte, N.C.-based drywall manufacturer with a plant in Apollo Beach, said in news release Thursday that it believes the report provides further proof it is not responsible for sulfur gas problems associated with Chinese drywall. Two of the samples used by the CPSC were from National Gypsum.

China seizes more melamine-tainted milk powder
Here they go Again !
Not only did it happen once , which would be bad enough , but now a second time with the Melamine laced milk !
Some coming from the batches of Milk products they removed the last time , it was re-labled and re-distributed right back to the people !
BEIJING (Reuters) - Chinese inspectors tracing new cases of contaminated milk have shut dairy firms in the northwest and seized 72 metric tons of milk powder tainted with melamine, an industrial compound that killed at least six children in 2008.
Nearly 100 metric tons of tainted milk powder may still be on shop shelves, the China Daily reported Monday in detailing the closure of a Ningxia firm that sold the product.
A number of cases of melamine in milk have surfaced in the past few months, some of which appear to have come from old batches of contaminated powder that was never destroyed despite a scandal that damaged the reputation of the Chinese dairy industry.
Tiantian Dairy Co Ltd in Ningxia was closed after it was found to have repackaged and sold 170 metric tons of melamine-tainted milk powder that it received as a debt payment, the China Daily said, citing the local government.
The paper did not say where the milk had come from. Last week, three people at a dairy firm in neighboring Shaanxi province were arrested for manufacturing or dealing in products laced with melamine, a compound commonly used in plastics or fertilizer but which can also be added to foods to show high protein levels in tests.
Another dairy firm, Ningxia Panda, was shut because of its ties to Shanghai Panda Dairy Co, which was closed late last year for selling products tainted with melamine.
There have been no reported deaths or illnesses from the latest batches of tainted milk. About 300,000 children sought medical treatment, many with kidney stones, in the 2008 scandal.
China executed two people in November for their role in the 2008 scandal that further sullied the made-in-China brand after a string of health and product-safety scares.

Feds Probe Cadmium in Kids' Jewelry From China / Another Fuck China Moment
Cadmium is a known carcinogen. Like lead, it can hinder brain development in the very young, according to recent research.
"It comes down to the following: Cadmium causes cancer. How much cadmium do you want your child eating?" said Michael R. Harbut, a doctor who has treated adult victims of cadmium poisoning and is director of the environmental cancer program at the Karmanos Cancer Institute in Detroit. "In my view, the answer should be none."
So Hey why not give it to our Kids ?
Lets see Contaminated Pet Food ! , Then Endless lead contaminated toys made in China for our Kids !
And now Jewelry made with Cadmium , A toxic metal that is number 7 on the CDC's list of most hazardous substances , # 7 out of 275 !
Pardon my french but , what the fuck is it going to take to stop the flood of Tainted goods from China ? Maybe a Whole generation of kids with cancer and underdeveloped Brains ? ( Maybe by then China will be poised to take over the U.S. )
Foxnews
LOS ANGELES — Moving swiftly, U.S. product safety authorities say they are launching an investigation into the presence of the toxic metal cadmium in children's jewelry imported from China after disclosure of lab tests showing that some pieces consisted primarily of the dangerous substance.
The promise to "take action as quickly as possible to protect the safety of children" followed by hours the release Sunday of an Associated Press investigative report that documented how some Chinese manufacturers have been substituting cadmium for lead in cheap charm bracelets and pendants being sold throughout the United States.
Meantime, the head of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, the agency that regulates children's jewelry and toys, was set to deliver a speech Tuesday to Asian manufacturers emphasizing that American regulators are still scrutinizing jewelry contents now that they've barred the use of lead.
— Three flip flop bracelet charms sold at Walmart contained between 84 and 86 percent cadmium. The charms fared the worst of any item on the stomach acid test; one shed more cadmium in 24 hours than what World Health Organization guidelines deem a safe exposure over 60 weeks for a 33-pound child.
Lets not forget that Cheap metals will over time rub off on your Skin , How much exposure would that be to a child over say A year ? ( Maybe they need a skin leeching test )

China executes two over tainted milk powder scandal
I'm Surprised that these may be the only two Executed over this !....BBCNews
China has executed two people for their role in a scandal involving tainted milk powder that resulted in six children dying, officials have said.
More than 300,000 other infants were made ill from milk powder contaminated with melamine, an industrial chemical used to make plastics and fertiliser.
Zhang Yujun and Geng Jinping are the only people to have been executed over the scandal, court officials said.
Nineteen other people were sentenced to prison terms.
Zhang Yujun was convicted of endangering public safety by dangerous means, for selling more than 770 tonnes of the tainted milk powder from July 2007 to August 2008, the official Xinhua news agency said.
Geng Jinping, who managed a milk production centre, was convicted of supplying milk containing melamine to the now-bankrupt Sanlu Group and other dairies.
The two men were sentenced in January in Shijiazhuang, capital of Hebei, where Sanlu was based. Their appeals were rejected by the Hebei Provincial Higher People's Court in March.
Xinhua said the executions were carried out on Tuesday, but did not say where.

China formally begins probe into U.S. chicken parts .....Or how pieces is parts !
Nice ! Maybe some of our Highly overpaid , FatCat ,politicians , Can see through the Haze they have been surrounded by , And start an investigation into everything Chinese .
With the ongoing Cyber attacks and the onslaught of lead tainted goods that have come from China , We should not be importing any of their products !
If the Dumbass's in D.C , really wanted to help with the Economy , They would stop Chinese imports , And let the "Former" Manufacturing sector of the U.S. Help take back our Jobs !

BEIJING (Reuters) - China on Sunday formally launched an anti-dumping and anti-subsidy investigation into chicken parts imports from the U.S., two days after U.S. lawmakers agreed to end a gag order that prevented the U.S. from even considering importing Chinese cooked poultry.
China had said it would investigate chicken wings and feet, as well as automotive imports from the U.S., immediately after the Obama administration decided to impose hefty "safeguard" duties on Chinese-made tires.
"The Ministry of Commerce believes that this case meets the legal conditions and has decided to conduct an investigation of unfair trade practices like dumping and subsidizing of U.S. chicken products," the ministry said, adding that the case had been requested by Chinese chicken producers.
"The case will be decided according to law and facts."
Maybe if we injected the chicken parts with some Lead , they would not mind eating them ?
The tire case marks the first time the U.S. has used a "safeguard" provision against a surge of Chinese imports, a clause China agreed to when it joined the World Trade Organization. The duties took effect on Saturday, immediately after the conclusion of the G20 summit in Pittsburgh.
Good ! I don't mind paying a little more for My Tires .

Is tainted Chinese drywall radioactive?
Would not surprise me one bit ! China has definitely got a problem with the U.S and this could possibly be one of the ways of getting to us , Making us sick slowly and over a long period of time ! The Flood of tainted products from China is just incredible and something needs to be done about it ! Radioactive products ? Lead tainted toys for our kids , poisoned food for our pets ! What the fuck is next ?
BOYCOTT CHINA'S PRODUCTS !
BOYCOTT CHINA'S PRODUCTS !
ABC action news....
TAMPA, FL -- Could tainted Chinese drywall contain radioactive matter? Local health officials and investigators say it's unlikely.
The Los Angeles Times is reporting drywall shipped to the United States by at least four Chinese firms contained a radioactive substance.
Wednesday, both the Florida Department of Health and local independent investigators say there is no basis to support the claims.
The Health Department says trace levels of radioactive matter were present in the first round of tests, but nothing that would exceed normal environmental conditions.
Following the reports, Senator Bill Nelson said “So far, the tests performed by the EPA and the state Department of Health have not detected radioactive materials in Chinese drywall samples from Florida,” said U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson. “But, based on these reports I’ve asked the EPA to go back and specifically look for this stuff.”
Health officials expect the results of their second round of air quality testing in late July or early August.
