We need to put huge tariffs on Chinese made goods and that can begin to pay for the inspections of every item that has made in China stamped on it.

and the tax money should be paid to the victims of Made in China.

This is hardly China’s fault. Either the parents are to blame for assembling the thing wrong, or the maker is to blame for designing it and/or writing the assembly instructions such that incorrect assembly is likely to occur.

How long will it be before the Chicoms call Simplicity CEO’s in for a televised grovel fest about design defects by Simplicity, etc., and no fault owed to Chicom manufacturing, etc. — or face a complete shutoff of supply, as obviously happened with Mattel Toys. In China, it’s the supplier who is always right.

I agree. Companies that ship their manufacturing to China should have to have every product inspected and reinspected and subject to rigorous reviews for anything in their products, along with mandating multiple angle, full-color instructions. Maybe if we can make it expensive enough they will decide “American made” isn't such an expense with them.

Please note (and I am far from a fan of China-made goods of any kind) that the cribs became dangerous due to USER error - People who are too dumb to follow the directions and install the drop gate RIGHT SIDE UP.

And don’t get me wrong - I would have no problem with tarrifs on Chinese goods (heck - the government could make enough on that to reduce our current taxes..., not that they would).

It is just that we don’t need to start blaming when it isn’t their issue (in this limited case).
