We've had this story on the backburner since early this year, but most of the media never brang it to the fore like they should have - even after Wal-Mart was caught putting phony barcode labels on recalled cat food - so we need to bring it forward and keep it there.
Several Wal-Mart customers found shards of glass and plastic in store brand trail mix that they buyed there - thus forcing a recall of the product. The trail mix originally came from an Ann's House of Nuts plant in North Carolina, but as we've pointed out before, Wal-Mart does have a hand in the manufacture of its brands.
Stuff like this seems to happen a lot with Wal-Fart, doesn' t it? I wonder why anyone still shops there - but then again, Wal-Mart's predatory ways have netted it a monopoly in some communities, so it's not like people have a choice.

Also note the factory is in a non-union state (NC)....as is Wal-Mart itself (AR).
ReplyDeleteThese states are the China of America as far as organizing workers is concerned.
