  2. It's always the subcontractor's fault. Yeah, right, when authorities start making the company responsible whether it was subcontractor's or not, then maybe I can see hope that this will end. Every company should know who makes their merchandise, to not know has to stop being an excuse. Thanks for the interesting story.
