Wow. Quite an eye-opening article. We all want things to be as inexpensive as possible, but we forget that there's a reason why it's so inexpensive - safety costs money (though probably not all that much in reality), and that would eat away at the profit margin of the factory making the products. Everyone's to blame in some way here: us for buying the products, the big companies who are not caring enough about the workers making the product (even if it's an outsourced company), the factory owners who don't care about their workers, and even the Chinese government for turning a blind eye to the whole thing out of their desperate desire to modernize China and make it an economic superpower.
It's all quite sad. :?
