Cripes.

Maybe they are shipping it from China? If so, who knows what you'd be
getting. Yes, I'm getting very cynical about Chinese products.

Our company is having a very small part made there and part of the
contract says they will send documentation with each shipment to verify
the chemical (plastic) used. We've had to threaten to withhold payment
after the last two shipments to get the documentation, and even then,
who knows if it's true?
