Consulting group warns against Chinese imports October 13, 2009

As the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has been addressing numerous Chinese drywall complaints from various jurisdictions and courts at both the state and federal level have seen the initiation of abundant suits, other groups are also beginning to take note and address the issue directly.

A consulting group, The Global Piracy & Counterfeiting Consultants, has recently suggested that China is the leading country with regard to pirating global products, as well as counterfeiting products from other regions. According to the organization;

[W]hile the world marvels at how amazingly China has become a top global economy, we are asking at what price has this magic occurred, and who in the long term picks up the bar tab? What we are talking about is making a buck at any price, or regardless of the long term global cost (AKA-Toxic Chinese Drywall).”

The Chinese economy is balanced in that there is a relatively small level of domestic spending, however, the boom in manufacturing within the country has led to massive exportation.  When the United States experienced the construction boom following the hurricane season of 2005-07, builders imported drywall from China.

As recently as this month, the Piracy Consultants warned,

“every major global trading partner with China [ought] to check everything purchased from China, or out sourced to China, before it comes back into the US, Canada, or Europe.”

In summation, importers of Chinese products need to be especially weary with regard to the quality and safety of the goods.  Investigation results are expected to be released later this Fall by the CPSC and cooperating agencies.
