Guest opinion: Counterfeit drugs the most dangerous Chinese export
Legislation is yet again pending that will open America's borders to imported prescription drugs.
But if proponents of importation have their way, the American market could be flooded with dangerous copycat and counterfeit drugs produced in China, Indonesia and other countries with a poor record on consumer safety.
With this in mind, it's worth asking: If we can't ensure safe children's toys, how can we ensure safe prescription drugs?
