Posted from my daily blessings site:
I just wanted to share a personal story with you all to implore you to please please watch what you buy from China.
My mom wore some new pajama’s that had already been laundered. The next day her body was covered in red puffiness. She told me that it looked like she had a sunburn from her neck down. She initially thought it was a food reaction, but she ate nothing that was suspect.
I told her to check the label of her new pajamas as the redness effected specific areas of her body, that was covered by them. She did…and they read ‘Made in China’.
The next day she went to the doctor because she started puffing up and getting more splotchy. This is after a day of being away from the garment in suspect. He confirmed after seeing her that it was due to the pesticides used on the fabric in her pajamas. She was having a reaction to the poisons used.
Yesterday, day 3, she was so swollen and achy that she couldn’t get rings on her fingers or shoes on her feet. Today, day 4, she’s in so much pain internally that she can’t move or even hold anything in her hands without pain.
The doctor gave her medicines that have helped her but she’s under a careful eye….mine and the doctors. I am writing this to warn you that the ‘Made in China’ info out there is real. China IS STILL using harmful chemicals on and in our products that are shipped to our country and purchased and used in OUR homes.
Please if your label, for any product, reads ‘Made in China’ please don’t buy it. Don’t put clothes on your own back and especially not your children. Don’t do it! It’s not just something you hear about in the news…it’s hitting home!
My mom is having severe medical issues because China isn’t watching or caring how they’re producing their products, and the OUR OWN COUNTRY isn’t protecting us!

Wow, thanks for the information and warning… I will be sure to be on the lookout from now on.
I do hope your Mom is okay soon.

This is so scary! I will keep a better eye out. Can I ask WHERE, what store, she bought them at?

My sister got a pretty nasty rash from some flip flops she bought at Wally World. We think it’s the same reason but the doctor said she’s allergic to the material in the top part of the sandal.I doubt that’s the case though as she has other leather shoes and has no issues with them and they were made in the good old USA.
Great reason to only buy MADE IN THE USA Products, the downside is that so little is actually made here anymore.

Today, day 5, my mom is finally better and able to move without pain. To answer your question, she bought them from a catalog. I’m not sure which one, but I’ve told her she needs to use rubber gloves to wrap them back up and ship them back for a refund along with a lengthy letter describing her issues. I think every company needs to have some quality control and this catalog needs to know what is happening out there with their products.
