Dollar Tree recalls 470,000 China-made glue guns
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Dollar Tree Inc recalled about 470,000 Chinese-made hot glue guns because they are a fire hazard, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said on Tuesday.
Dollar Tree said it was aware of four incidents in which the recalled Crafters Square Hot Melt Mini Glue Guns short-circuited, causing the craft gun to smoke. No injuries have been reported.
The recalled glue guns were sold from December 2007 through March 2008 for about $1 each, the safety agency said in a statement. Customers should stop using the recalled glue guns and return them to the store where purchased for a refund.

Didn't stuff from China used to be made with quality?
It seems like US companies outsourcing work to China has produced alot of shoddy merchandise, maybe its just a coincidence, but its one more reason to buy American.

The problem stems from the fact that without cheap imports a lot of American companies would simply cease to exist, think what it would mean for the US position in the global economy.
You would be suprised how un -American a lot of products are , the car companies buy electronics units made in Japan.
The microwave cooker bearing the name and labels of an American company could well have been outsourced to be manufactured in Mexico.
