In America, they would have done a financial analysis, weighing the cost savings of the lead based paint vs the lawsuits due to children sickness.

How true. Shades of FoMoCo's Bronco and Firestone tires a few years ago or Pinto gas tanks a few years further back.

This is all driven by US companies / Walmart's desires for the cheapest goods possible, regardless of corners cut to make it so. There is no quality control because that adds a few cents to the bottom line, regulation costs money, blah, blah, blah.....................

Look into some left temple, right handed people, gunshot suicides in Arkansas, then tell me what you think.
surely you are not referring to a former confidant of the junior senator from New York?

No, they would have known better than to get caught, and would only have proceeded if it were cost effective
