If you know anyone buying sandals from Walmart, you may wish to have them look at this. Hope none of you got burned.

Ugh I have sensitive skin and suffer from eczema already, anyway those are not my colour.

Wow,
Well maybe we should stop getting stuff made in China, but it is cheap
Over here we would have to pay the people a decent wage and pay more, we can't do that can we?

That was scary! The guy waited all those days to take meds? He just wanted it to eat his foot off so he could sue Walmart or something? I'd go to the doc the same day!

I could not find the bottom line in that long page. Was the source of the inflamtion determined?

Horrible!

And you wonder why I go out of my way not to buy things made in China? They taint their food, and not they even taint their footwear! Nice.

PS. Ever heard the term - you get what you paid for? Now we are starting to see the results of our cheapness. I partly blame this lady for buying Chineese crap in the first place.

Not the same thing. Paying cheap and getting a lousy product that breaks is one thing. Winding up in the hospital just for using it normally is quite another.

Not really. This is the ultimate of cheapness - going to the hospital. Chemical burns are happening because the damn Chinese factory used a cheaper, known volitile chemical in the plastic, possibly the impregnated color, so they could shave a few pennies off its production. So I have to disagree with you.

That's why I've been wearing Teva's for 20 years.
