China's Product-Safety Recalls
In 2008, China's largest provider of milk powder recalled 700 tons of baby formula after one child died and more than 50 others developed kidney problems. Melamine, a chemical used in the making of plastic, was found in the baby formula; it later emerged that unscrupulous manufacturers had been adding it to food products to cheaply boost protein values. Two men were eventually sentenced to death for their role in the scam. The revelations only further damaged China's reputation in production. Melamine had been a problem a year earlier, in March 2007, when the FDA recalled more than 60 million cans of cat and dog food after the death of 14 pets. In addition to spoiling food, Chinese-made toys were recalled later in 2007; Mattel took several of its Barbie and Polly Pocket products off the shelves because of concerns over toxic lead paint and hazardous magnet parts.
中国食品安全召回事件
2008年，中国最大的奶粉生产商在一名儿童死亡并且发现超过50个儿童发展成肾结石后宣布召回700吨儿童配方奶粉。三聚氰胺，一种用于制造塑料的化学添加剂，在这种儿童配方奶粉中被发现了。调查发现无良的制造商为了能廉价达到蛋白含量标准而将三聚氰胺添加到奶粉中。最终二人因为他们欺诈行为而被判死刑。这件事情的曝光影响了中国未来在制造业的声誉。三聚氰胺曾经在2007年3月因为14只宠物的死亡而被美国食品药物监督局召回了600万罐。除了中国的问题食品，中国制造的玩具也曾在2007年后半年被召回。美国玩具制造商Mattel因为人们对有毒铅涂料和含有危险磁部件有所担忧而让部分芭比娃娃和波利口袋下架。
