Kiwis Say "Blow Me Down! Poison in Kids Clothing From China?"
In New Zealand, high-levels of formaldehyde have been found in children's clothing imported from China. Calls are issued for Parliamentary investigations.
Just how does the formaldehyde find its way into the bloodstream? Curious, but I was unaware that Kiwis ingested woolens and cottons. Never saw them served at a bun-fight, have you?
Then, some dag comes along to report more formaldehyde can be found in food and drink, a by-product of aspartame, than in clothing.
Dieters of New Zealand, beware. Never, NEVER! sweeten your cardigan with NutraSweet.
[Editor's note: Many thanks to Miss Johnson from London for the tip.]
UPDATE (August 22, 2007): Now all in ANZ can sleep restfully. Thank goodness it's turning warmer.
"Chinese-made blankets containing high levels of formaldehyde have been recalled across Australia and New Zealand, the distributor said Wednesday, amid rising global concern over the safety of products from China."
