I read an article in an Asian Trade magazine that quoted a top Chinese Official stating from their own internal audit/survey, they found that 20% of all manufactured goods did not meet China's National (laxed) Quality Standards.

My fathaer was raised in the European community in Shanghai and he says the god in china is money and people will do anything to get it.

The latest concerns came as Li Changjiang, head of China’s safety watchdog, claimed the product safety scares were “a new trend of trade protectionism”, and accused some governments of “demonising China’s products”.

Yah right. WE'RE the bad guy.

Git yer ch*t on straight, or we ain't buyin' what yer sellin', you (racist comment self-removed).

The government ordered the probe after scientists hired by a consumer watchdog programme discovered formaldehyde in Chinese clothes at levels of up to 900 times regarded as safe. Manufacturers sometimes apply formaldehyde to clothes to prevent mildew. It can cause skin rashes, irritation to the eyes and throat and allergic reactions.

Someone correct me if I am wrong here but I believe that the application of water, soap and agitation should remove formaldehyde from cloth.

This one sounds BOGUS..

Do we have a chemist here?

Formaldahyde is a liquid, It converts to a gas at room temperature doesn’t it.

Yes it does just looked it up...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formaldehyde

Heck, Real SOJU in the ROK Contains/ed Formaldahyde... and we used to drink it...

Apparently so does LAO Beer

I find it hard to imagine there is sufficient formaldahyde residue on a dry article of clothing for it to be a legitimate concern.

Further anyone with half a brain washes newly purchased clothes for children at least..

Wish my chemistry was up to snuff cause this one does not ring true to me at all..

Chemists out there .... a little help?

BS BUSTERS Say’s This one smells bogus....
