"Lead" by Example...

China...one of the most progressive countries in the world in terms of growth...the sleeping giant that have woken up...However, it's alarming that many of their products are facing criticisms and are being taken off the shelves all over the world...Agencies in US and other nations have issued recall orders for toys manufactured ion China because of execessive lead content, Also in the Philippines the DOH has issued a device alert that warns consumers who might have bought China-made products that may be potentially dangerous to health. It is further alarming to note that among these products are toys, things that little kids put in their mouths. According to Health secretary Francisco Eduque lead is toxic if ingested.
I think this is potentially big crisis for China if their govt' fails to apply the proper solution to mitigate the effects of the recall and banning of their products. Since China is known worldwide as manufacturing country, the news about the lead content of their products may severly affect their economy and may halt the steady growth of their economy.

However, another issue about the recall order is the fact that many people may have already bought the said products and may have already been exposed to lead...if this aspect of the problem should come up...expect that many of the companies that manufactured the toys and other products will face lawsuits and crises of their own..

In the end this is something that China and its govt' cannot take sitting down...
