More Chinese Products Reports

The NYT has continued to follow the Chinese poison toothpaste story and today reports that it was distributed much more broadly than previously indicated:

After federal health officials discovered last month that tainted Chinese toothpaste had entered the United States, they warned that it would most likely be found in discount stores.

In fact, the toothpaste has been distributed much more widely. Roughly 900,000 tubes containing a poison used in some antifreeze products have turned up in hospitals for the mentally ill, prisons, juvenile detention centers and even some hospitals serving the general population.

While some plaintiffs’ lawyers’ blogs have discussed the toothpaste recall, I don’t see any Google AdSense words being bought (at least with the most obvious search.)
