Headline: Chinese toxic chemical spill ‘may threaten food chain’

Perhaps this spill will create a shortage of chemically unique rubber products the Chinese have been exporting to the US for many years, as evidenced by simply walking into most any discount shoe store in the US. A visit the day after a new shipment arrives will cause your nose to burn and insects likley to run.

With having some experience with industrial chemicals I am suspect of what is contained in these Cheap imports. It smells as chemistry that I know as banned in the US, yet I am not aware of any agency that tests them for consumer safety.
