Probably so, but I don't think that's a big issue
for an item made entirely out of plastic. It's
not like frozen fish or cat food, where you'd be
taking a big risk. I'm not aware of any scandals
involving plastic (except when it's used as an
additive in baby formula or cat food). On the other
hand, there was a scandal with Chinese drywall.
