To the Point
Chinese Imports and Product Safety
Toys, tires, foods and toothpaste have raised questions about the safety of imports from China. Is China trying to clean up its act? What about the demand for cheap products from US companies--and from consumers?

Also, will immigration enforcement mean a shortage of Christmas trees? (This archived edition of To the Point will not air live on KCRW as it will be pre-empted by special holiday programming.)
