Here is more evidence that we should not buy anything with ingredients from China.
According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) they have new evidence linking a contaminant to deaths and allergic reactions in patients who took the blood-thinner Heparin which were made with ingredients from China.

The FDA says new data from research showed the contaminant, over-sulfated chondroitin sulfate, could trigger side effects such as those reported in the deaths of 81 Heparin patients.

FDA officials insist they tested the Heparin in question and found the contaminant, and what is more ten other countries had also detected over-sulfated chondroitin sulfate in samples of Heparin made with Chinese ingredients; they are Australia, Canada, China, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, The Netherlands, New Zealand.
