[Vision2020] CHINA Again: FDA Updates Health Information Advisory on Melamine Contamination

[lfalen]

We can not trust the Chinese to ensure that their exports are safe. Their products used internally are not safe. The FDA needs to test incoming products to ensure that they are safe. I am normally against increased government regulation, but this in one area where  it is needed.
