    Comment: Yes, China produces some products that has quality problems. But I think Importers and distributors have to be very careful when they sell products to consumers because it is their job to make sure whether products are dangerous or not before they're selling it to the public, it is also their job in purchasing products from qualify manufacturers in whether China or other countries.
