(Excerpt) - In today’s volatile economy, it seems that everyone is looking for the “cheaper” product. Whether one is talking about the retail or industrial sector, products are morphing into a modified and sometimes dangerous version of the original. It was not long ago that we experienced a crisis with pet food products. Many beloved pets were killed by companies who decided to go the “cheaper route” using inexpensive ingredients in an attempt to lower costs and boost margins. Using these cheaper ingredients in pet food proved deadly. Currently one well-known retailer is recalling childrens toys and jewelry produced by companies using substandard materials that could result in illness or even death. The problem is that these inferior products look and feel the same as those made from quality materials.
