Congratulations: All your products are now made with chemicals designed and manufactured in China.

  Not really. Sovereign countries can block 100% of China imports any time they want. That your lack understanding of trade policy is no excuse for such a reductionist claim. One can also imagine that people might personally refuse to import deadly products or products that harm their children's future environment. There are plenty of reasons this might not just be the race to the bottom you imagine and profess. Do the harder work next time instead of wasting everyone's attention on such worthless replies.

    The government can also ban chemicals at any time, for import or domestic production. The issue is they didn’t, at the time, but 3M or similar was supposed to have “known better”. Massive retrospective penalties for “should have known better” non-crimes will just result in an off-shoring to markets where these penalties do not apply.
