Offshored to a country where there are no regulations, so the company that puts out overpriced commercials with the chintzy piano music and braying to us about how oh-so-caring they are can pocket the difference in "cost" as "profit"...
At least Kellogg's is putting out a recall. Probably because of a fear of a class action suit, but wasn't there a time when congress was considering making it impossible for people to do class action suits? Get rid of that and these two-bit companies could freely put in as much glass as they'd like and get away with murder if they could.
