How cute are these mixing bowls from Williams-Sonoma?I know - adorable.
I purchased them today - in this beautiful shade of red, got them home opened the package and noticed that they were MADE IN CHINA and they are melamine. Is everything made in China now? I know I can't believe that I just typed that either. I know the answer.
The latest scandal of traces of melamine in baby formula and food was so recent that I want to take these bowls back, in protest. I can't believe I didn't look closer at the details. URGHHHH.
OMG they are SO CUTE, awesome color! But yes, didn't you know EVERYTHING is made in China these days, even here in Cairo!
ReplyDeleteOh, yes. I am definitely at times completely appalled by the dearth of merchandise hitting American stores that was made in China. And I know that we live in a hyper-litigious society, which means that all of the weird shit that China sends us (toys with lead paint/magnets/random sharp pieces that fall off, toxic foodstuffs, etc.) get a lot of press coverage (as it should...), but I do wonder sometimes if this is just recently happening more often, or if we are only recently hearing about it more often.
ReplyDeleteEither way, I am definitely seeing the Made in China tag way too often for my comfort these days, especially from places like Williams-Sonoma, where I pay a premium for quality or hard-to-find goods, and as such, I expect to not have to worry as much about the origin of my goods. I mean, Target, I get. It's a discount retailer, and China ships craploads of discount goods. But Williams-Sonoma?
Yeah. I'd be pissed, too.
