Recalled: Artificial Poo Made in China
Actually Real Human Feces Novelty
toy distributor Whodunnit Inc. became the latest US company to announce a large
scale recall of products made in China today when it was revealed that recent
shipments of their best selling "Pile-O-Fun" fake poop, "Poopy Pants" diapers and "Puddle-O-Puke" artificial barf consist of actual human
feces and vomit.
Citing public health concerns, acting Consumer Product
Safety Commission chairman Nancy Nord announced that Whodunnit is recalling every
unit of artificial excrement and vomit it has sold since July 21st - 15,000 units
in total. "We're urging consumers of these products to not open them
if they have yet to do so, and if they have, to dispose of the product in a manner
that limits their further contact with it - for instance with a shovel,"
she said at a mid-morning news conference. Evidently, this latest scare
is connected with April's recall of millions of cans of dog food that originated
from China. According to authorities, the same facility responsible for
producing the tainted dog food conspired to defray their losses and cut costs
by having workers eat their spurned stock and either throw up or shit into diapers
and plastic bags for sale overseas. "Is very funny!" chimed Xiojing
Liu, co-owner of AAA Best Industrial Manufacturing, the company that made and
shipped the elicit products before being shut down. Not funny, says the
US government. "Acting in sheer negligence of the welfare of the consumer
and their own workers, AAA Best Industrial Manufacturing's employees were directed
by management to fill plastic containers with their excrement and/or vomit after
consuming large amounts of the rejected dog food... the containers were then packaged
and shipped for sale into the American novelty market," read the official
report that led to the shuttering of the factory. Meanwhile, in lieu of
committing suicide over the public disgrace of his company, Liu attempted to rationalize
his actions in a message posted on AAA Best Industrial's website. "It
is hard to discern where our distinguished American colleagues wish to draw the
line. They trade their people's jobs and souls to China for cheap consumer products,
but they don't want us to poison them. Fine. Now I understand." |
