"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 January 05, 2020, 07:03 AM

I thought that was where lawyers and IRS agents came from.
Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.

np149I had a range / gadget bag purchased at a local gun show a number of years ago. It stunk up my whole work locker so bad, I had to get it out of there. I left it outside for a period of time until it out gassed enough to not smell. I still have old stinky and use it.

BisleyblackhawkI received a Chinese made bipod as a birthday gift a few years back...the little rubber feet smelled so strongly of nasty rubber, I had to put in my storage shed to air out for several months before I could bring it into the house. My neighbor used rubber mulch to landscape his yard next to my privacy fence...it had the same smell as the bipod's rubber feet for the whole summer until it off gassed (I could smell it whenever I went in my back yard). It's got to be made from recycled condoms

BigCityI know that when we get caskets made in China that they have a pretty obvious odor too.

The key to enforcement is to punish the violator, not an inanimate object. The punishment of inanimate objects for the commission of a crime or carelessness is an affront to stupidity.

EponymInteresting Tractor Supply was mentioned. I notice the smell whenever I go there. I always assumed it was the aroma of farm products. It gets on everything in the store. I have to wash their 100% cotton Carhartt shirts before I wear them.

kramdenI have 2 hand carry tool boxes (similar to tackle boxes). They stink up the room when you open them.

StlheadCome on all of this stinky china shit is just cover for the fact that many of you guys have bad gas. When you can't blame it on the dog, blame it on the commie plastic!

pbslingerA neighbor asked me to fix his Chinese made scooter. I don't know how old it was, but pretty much everything made of rubber had deteriorated to the point that the machine was scrap. I wouldn't buy any Chinese made vehicle due to rubber deterioration and parts availability.
