Beware of these Flip flops or simply sandals

Not that we are using these now but maybe in the summer we have to think twice!

Don't buy any cheap flip flops in Mexico,us etc-dont know in the philippines if there is such sandals..

Subject: Be aware of these FLip Flops from China - true

I can't believe it, but this is TRUE! See the link to snopes.com and see for yourself. Pretty scary. Very good to know!! Definitely pass this one onto everyone you know to spread the word



This is very true I heard it in news from one of our local radios here that our govt has to be extra careful on these cheap imports from china especially clothes because the Chinese are using some strong but cheap chemical in their manufactures. Cheap is expensive and at the same time fatal.
