Dear Alan,
Having been a subscriber to MM for many years I was surprised to read your editorial in the August 2007 issue: “Made in China now a warning sign?”
Apart from the painted rail article (did the Qld company specify the paint to be used) your editorial mainly covered the food industry. Coming from an equipment manufacturing monthly magazine I thought it alarmist to say the least.
We import dental equipment from China and compliment them on the quality and service for their manufactured products.
Why not ask your readers to submit their experiences with equipment imports. It should be more interesting than your food allegations (which we know does exist).
