Are Cheap Chinese Toys Really Worth the Risk?
What about Fairtrade toys? It seems that every time one turns around now there is something else in the news regarding cheap toys made in China. Either it was made with forced prison camp labor where political prisoners who's only crime was yearning for democracy and the right to vote were forced to toil in Chinese toy factories. Or the toy was painted with lead based paint that was never meant to be used on children's toys.

Incredible Hand Crafted Fair trade Jewelry
For untold years absolutely incredible handcrafted jewelry has been coming out of Asia and the price tags on it were always more than affordable. The reason for this was that so much of it was made by the delicate hands of children being forced to work for peanuts. The only thing that has changed with Fair trade jewelry of this type, is that child labor isn't used and the craftspeople are now receiving a fair working wage. Surprisingly these changes, as with so many other Fair trade products have added very little to the price tags.
