Remote-Controlled Helicopter Toys Recalled by Innovage Due to Fire and
Burn Hazards

In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission
(CPSC), Innovage LLC, of Foothill Ranch, Calif., is voluntarily
recalling about 685,000 "Sky Scrambler" and "The Sharper Image" Wireless

Face it. The Chinese are attacking us. They are just being very clever
about it.

Well, with the price of fuel, Canada makes sense.

They sure are. Rather than correct our bogus design specifications to
something less dangerous, they deliver exactly what we order and let us hang
ourselves. Talk about good use of resources!

Do you think for a second that Innovage LLC
(http://www.macraesbluebook.com/searc...company=646435)
designed anything other than the packaging and a horrible website
(follow the link above)? The called a manufacturer or they called them
and said, "We have made a cheap toy helicopter. Would you like to sell
it you running dog cap^H^H^H^H^H fine American Marketing company."

On the larger picture do you think Mattel or any other toy company told
them to use lead based paint. I've never seen that even suggested.

They are doing exactly what Japan used to do and what we did 30 or 40
years ago. Cut corners to save money.

Cool. A great nerd toy. But do you know how to make an exploding floppy
disk with nail polish remover and some other ingredients?

No, but I am willing to learn!

Nail polish remover is acetone, a floppy disk is mylar with a metalic
coating. What are the other ingredients? Potassium Iodide?

You are showing your age.,,, Who uses floppy didks these days?
Exploding USB devices would be be better.

Um, well, yes. That's how the system is supposed to work. Money flows
toward the lowest cost of production because that's what we (consumers)
demand.

However, if a factory produces shoddy products, no one buys their junk and
they go out of business. It's a system always seeking balance, and (best of
all) it finds this balance automatically, without human oversight.

It only gets really screwed up when gummint ("for the sake of the children",
always) gets involved.
