Talk:2007 Chinese export recalls

message: I notice the section about Mattel toys contains a paragraph that explains that the company issues an apology stating that it was not "China's fault" that its products were recalled. If so, I'm not sure that that section belongs in this article. There is an unstated subtext that all of the others these recalls were the fault of Chinese manufacturers, and this is not the case here.
Becase of this, I have deleted that section. 31.49.100.146 (talk) 17:19, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

message: I think one of the best ways to expand this is to go ahead just tack the news as of today and try to make a timeline for the previous events that eventually triggered this full fledged event. 
The following products have been involved:
Pet Food 
Tire Defects
Lead paint in mattel products.--Hourick 02:16, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

message: This is something that's going to be evolving over the next few months and therefore, I believe it's deserving of the "current" tag. --Hourick 14:28, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Current Tag 

message: Frankly, I'm not yet convinced an "export recall crisis" exists. Do official statistics actually indicate a significant uptick in recalls of Chinese products this year over last, or are they just getting more media attention now because of the Chinese protein export scandal? It makes me think of the "shark attack" stories that show up now and then in the summer, despite no uptick in shark attacks. --Soultaco 22:09, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: To my knowledge, no one really kept track of this before, but the past recalls have mentioned china and other countries, but rarely do I recall (in my memory) that this many recalls have been done in a single year, particularly one in which one country seemed to have a good portion of the recalls.  Now if another wikipedian happens to be able to come up with some solid documentations, then a comparison can be made. --Hourick 22:22, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

text: one country seemed to have a good portion"...That's because most products in the markets are from that country. So if any of those products have a problem, there is a good chance the problematic products are from China. This is simple stats.Sweeper77 07:58, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Uncalled for?

message: But what about commercials about Mattel? I am still seeing some even though it is recalling. --  PNiddy  Go!  03:43, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  How About Commercials? 

message: I think that this article contains some useful information and that it is being steadily improved.  However, I think the current title "2007 Chinese export recall crisis" is a bad title.  The article does not seem to show that official in either the USA, China, or elsewhere are calling this a "crisis".  I think a more straight-forward name would be "2007 Chinese export recalls".  The recalls are factual, so this title should not be problematic.  If no one objects, I will move the page in a couple of days. Johntex\talk 04:07, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, thanks.  Since there do not seem to be any objections, I am moving the article. Johntex\talk 18:34, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Suggested page move

message: I have removed the "notability" template from this article.  Chinese exports are certainly an important part of the world economy, and large recalls are also significant.  The article now sports multiple referencing showing why this topic is notable.  The change in article name (above) helps to address any lingering confusion about the scope of the article. Furthermore, the person who placed the tag does not seem to have made any claims here about why the tag is needed or valid.  Therefore, I have removed the tag.

message: This section is abysmal. I'm not sure what the writer is trying to say. Obviously the writer is a South-East Asian with particularly bad English ability. And I thought the German native speakers were bad! TinyMark 16:13, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

message: In Hokkaidō, lead has found in Nabe which is Japanese cooking pot from china, and recalled.
Many Japanese eat eel as Kabayaki in summer but this year most of them avoided Chinese one because it has found Malachite green in it.
On this matter, Asahi Shimbun's Aera (magazine) and People's Daily claims that Japanese people is wrong because they told about Antibiotic Chinese people but now they denounce Chinese.中国食品の「毒」は日本から来た and also insists that chinese products are safer than other developed country's products.日本週刊誌、輸入食品の基準超過率で中国は23位と発表  —Preceding unsigned comment added by TinyMark (talk • contribs) 06:07, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
