If you go up to my son's Schwinn bike that we bought him two years ago and sniff the tires, they still smell like China. The offgassing from the cheap rubber has gotten better in those two years. It doesn't fill the entire basement any more, but you can still smell it if you get close enough.

The latest is drywall. Make sure you don't buy drywall made in China. They are putting the waste into the drywall and selling it to us.
