Hi Stefan,
we think that Europe / Germany have to face the same trouble with "Made in China". After we saw the news on TV3 (yes, we watch Kiwi-TV :) ) we got concerned for the health of our Lea (1 year old) and started looking more closely to the cloth's labels. Many cloths don't have a label at all (!), especially from discounters, and many other were labeled from China. So we are struggling too to find anything that's NOT made in China.
We feel uneasy about this development, because we can't be sure where cloths really come from. Even a label "Made in EU" does not grant, that the cloths were really made in Europe. There are sneaky ways to declare something was "Made in Europe" with some importing / re-importing tricks.
Furthermore, there has been a similar incident with toys from Mattel and Toys'R'Us. So you can't be sure that the things babies and kids have the most contact with are 100% safe for their health.
We have to see how things will turn out to be...
In the meantime keep up that good work on this page ! :)
