News on the Fly: Adopted Babies Made in China Recalled

Former Chinese Baby Factory Chicago, Ill M. Hawkins August 14, 2007 Chinese baby importer BabiCo announced a huge recall of its adopted babies earlier today. "We apologize to the families that this has affected," BabiCo CEO Champ Myers said in a statement. "All BabiCo babies shipped between March and June 2007 are being recalled due to unsafe practices that took place at our factory overseas. We have only just now been made aware of what was being perpetrated by our subcontrator." The Chinese subcontracting company, AdopTotzCo, was found to have produced babies that would only consume caviar and other such related luxury foods. "We realize what a financial burden this has been on the middle class families which comprise our core customer base," said Myers. "Plus, there's just not enough fish eggs in the sea." Fifteen percent of American families that received the affected babies reported not noticing any difference.
