SHOW INTRODUCTION Many Americans have become concerned about toxic products coming from China. And consumers have discovered that they almost can’t buy anything that isn’t made in China. BUT it might surprise you to know that China makes less toxic products for themselves and for export to everywhere else BUT the US. Why? Because we don’t have the same standards that the European Union has and that Asia and Latin America haVE since aquired. So we have no standards, we get toxic products. Did you know that? All this hype and consumer push toward greenNess, all these NEW products and WE are the dumping ground for the dangerous junk because no one else will take it. Still like your cheap electronics? Hey, how ‘bout that cell phone? what are you going to do with it when you’re done with it? Big surprise, it’s toxic! Join me this hour as I bring you up to date on what you’re being exposed to and why.
