After looking through a lot of Sam's toys and other gear last night, MOST of it is made in China. I know not everything made in China contains lead, but it's getting ridiculous.
So, let's start a list of items that aren't made in China. I'm totally willing to pay a little more for something that is safe....and also that the people who make it aren't being paid pennies a day to work.
