When good toys go bad

United Press International says:
BETHESDA, Md., June 19 (UPI) — One in every 24 kinds of toys recalled for safety reasons in the United States was manufactured in China, a fact U.S. regulators and parents call alarming


Simply shocking. Those lousy Chinese, who couldn't care less about
the safety of our children. Those other 23 toys that are recalled
were probably just harmless safety recalls----nothing to worry about.
But, 1 in 24.....that's a lot.

The New York Times article As More Toys Are Recalled, Trail Ends in China, has the correct statistic.

China manufactured every one of the 24 kinds of toys recalled for safety reasons in the United States so far this year...

The correctly statistic is much more alarming than original quote.
