Thats idiocy.
As a former QC tech for a US factory, one of my tasks was to inspect
incoming shipments using random samples to determine if they did
indeed meet specifications. The shipments came from more than 3500
miles away, with many degrees of separation. One of the things we
checked was chemical content of the paint. (More specifically, we
checked for certain banned compounds and elements.)

That's not idiocy. It's responsible standard operating procedure. Or
at least it was, fifteen years ago.

Are you telling me that factories today aren't inspecting their parts
any more?
