Unsafe Outsourcing

Filed in archive Outsourcing Issues on October 31, 2007

The issue regarding outsourcing manufactured work in China is still considered a very delicate issue because of the effect that it could have especially to children.

This report entitled Outsourcing, Regulatory Sloth Blamed for Unsafe Toys emphasized on this issue stating that:

"The mass outsourcing of manufacturing to China and other nations with low safety standards, combined with the rollback of consumer protections and gutting of regulatory agencies such as the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), has directly led to the explosion of "Toxic toys."

Of course, this issue would not be cleared because of there are still people questioning the standards of outsourcing in China. Unless provisions and regulations would be implemented, this issue would not die.
