Exactly, Lets hold other countries to the same standards US companies have to follow and that would help level the playing field. I don't think we sent manufacturing to China and said they could use sub std. materials and identified dangerous chemicals in the products they supply. The controls were in place here to make sure safe products were manufactured. Why are these same controls not in place over there? I think Bob hit the nail on the head. "American companies went there looking for cheap." At our expense!
