My wife used to be a buyer for a retail company. Trust me when I say that there is very little done to research the products being sold. There are a number of "Officially licensed" product that she put on the shelf that she is pretty sure were not official or licensed at all. It is a simple enough process. If the buyer likes it, and the analyst sees value in it, it goes on the shelf. If the product ends up causing problems, the manufacturer takes the heat, because the contracts cover misrepresentation of a product. Why else do you think that so many poisonous dog toys made it to US shelves a few years ago? If the retailer actually cared, they would have had these things all tested before putting it on the shelf. |

This whole this is actually kind of eye opening in that it's starting to bring me a clear idea in the differences of how things are run south of the boarder. #TheMoreYouKnow |

Dammit, now I want Taco Bell! :laugh2: In reality, there are a ton of great foreign manufacturers. In China included. There are also more than enough horrid ones, and they surface when low price becomes the priority. Retailers care about price. |
