I was just reading an article in the Dailey Telegraph about a recall of clothing coloured with cancer causing dye. Bedding retailer pillow talk also recalled items coloured with 'azo dyes' known to break down into carcinogenic chemicals. These items have been imprted from a chinese importer.

Your thread about your sheets concerns me.

This is the story in The Australian.

Another reason why we should be buying Australian made product wherever possible.

Kylie, I also heard that jeans imported from China have strong die that has cancer causing chemicals.  Apparently even Just Jeans sock them.  I would toss the sheets out and take no chances.

I agree martini but have you noticed that nearly everything these days comes from China.  We even check the frozen peas as a lot of them are processed in China.

Not everything Sandypus - we buy very little in our household that ISN'T Australian made. You just have to keep an eye on the labels.

For peas try Birds Eyes Australian Baby Peas from Coles/Woollies - 100% Australian!

I hope Kylie see's this, I felt a chill when I read the story.

After reading the article , I couldn't help thinking that it'd be good if regulations were tightened up so we didn't have to worry about Australia becoming a dumping ground for products that are banned in other countries.

But somehow, I don't think that's going to happen

It's frightening Deb.

It sure is Freddie. & they'd already sold 1400 pairs of children's jeans, so I hope parents are made aware of it so they can chuck them out.

Because there was no BC in my family, the suggestion was environmental causes, i'm still having difficulty getting my head around this.
