Seems to me, the culture is "profit at any cost to the customers, and
apologize if we get caught". That is disgusting, but dozens of items a
week? It is hard to come to any other conclusion.

By "mistake", I meant that the inspector misinterpreted the
specifications or used the wrong set of specs.

That is not an excuse for using lead paint. That is not an excuse for
using 1,4-butanediol (metabolizes into coma-inducing drugs if swallowed)
in a childrens toy, instead of the 1,5-butanediol that was specified. A
Chinese factory decided to use the cheaper chemical, despite the fact
that it's not safe.

A factory in China decided to use lead paint on decorations:

What spec do you pretend could possibly be "misinterpreted" which could
lead to someone thinking putting lead paint in direct contact with food
is a good idea?

It's time that the US revokes China's "most favored trade nation
status". Trade _partners_ do not intentionally poison the children of
their customers. Pretending it's a mistake or anything other than a
consious decision based on greed and malice. Which motivation is it?
Are you trying to save a few pennies, or is your primary motivation in
trying, intentionally, to harm the generation of Americans which may
very well go to war with China?
