Keeping on top of things is the key. A friend of mine had a product
made in China. He spec'ed fire-resistant plastic for the casing. As
soon as his back was turned, they switched to cheaper plastic and his
house (where he was storing his inventory) burned down as a result.

How did plastic casings which were not fire resistant cause his house to
burn down? One suspects there was a Lot of inflammable stuff in his house.

No more than usual. I'm not up on the exact details of the fire, other
than his claim that if the factory had built them as he spec'ed, the
fire would not have spread. Obviously, other factors were involved.

He had to issue a recall on the product, and was not happy.

Understatement!
