[meteorite-list] New measures to protect fossils

[Adam Hupe]

I think all Chinese goods should be taken off of the U.S. market until they are proven worthy.  Fake Chinese medications that made it into American pharmacies almost killed my mother-in-law.

I had a GE microwave that failed after 13 months.  I thought it had a lifetime warranty but after reading the small print it was a "limited lifetime warranty"  The only things covered for a lifetime were the hinges, door handle and power cord.  The rest was covered for 12 months.  I turned it around and was appalled to see the made in China sticker on the back of a GE appliance!  I also had an Igloo stainless steel bar fridge fail after 8 months with nearly the same warranty as the GE appliance. I was simply out the money on the GE but got a new Igloo fridge which failed again after 14 months.  It could have caught my garage on fire as it was a smoker!


Doesn't anybody take pride in workmanship these days?

I think fake Chinese fossils, meteorites, artifacts, gemstones and anything else they can make a buck on are the least of our concerns!  I am sure people have died due to bogus Chinese medications.  I won't touch generic meds!  It seems these days our own government cares very little otherwise they would do something about it.

They should be working on a way to stop the flow of fake fossils out
of China.  Half of the "fossils" coming out of China now are bogus.  I
wouldn't touch a Chinese fossil with the proverbial ten-foot pole.
