$288 Product Inspection or Product Recall?
Walmart known for their “hot” deals, is recalling 1.5 million Chinese-made Durabrand DVD players sold exclusively at Walmart stores around the World. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the DVD players were a high risk for overheating and catching fire. Of the 12 reported incidents, five have caught fire and put consumers at risk.

I began doing business in Asia about 10 years ago. From the outset, this has been fascinating, exciting and complex. I started this blog as a way to respond to practical questions and to separate fact from fiction when viewing Asia from the West.

I think that it is a good decision taken by Wal-Mart to care for the safety of its customers. Companies with good reputation like francewholesalers.com and Wal-Mart really care for their customers.

Good thing done by Walmart .Producers must respect Consumer Product Safety Commission like this.
people are saved from the risk

That's why I like Walmart and in my opinion no other store could have done this if anyone else had faced such a situation.Once there was a situation with uk-wholesaler.co.uk and they had also called back their wholesale products
