Just read the article over at Cnet. People seem to be pointing the finger at China.

IMHO, That's the unexpected price companies pay for off shoring North American jobs to third world countries that run factories with poor quality control standards.

I hope further examples are shown so that consumers will more broadly question the quality and safety of goods produced in the third world instead of only focusing on the lowest price.

We all know people these days want to pay bottom dollar for everything. I share your sentiment but I just don't see it happening.
