Walmart is not the problem, the buyers are. They have for years decided to go for cheap.

Exactly.
And the outcome of that collective decision has been the decimation of U.S. manufacturing along with the communities on which that manufacturing depended.
By the way, there was a similar scandal about ten years ago regarding contaminated drywall.
As I see it, the only solution would be for the federal government to impose a large across-the-board tariff on all products coming from low-wage nations. But how would Americans react to a doubling of prices for common household items? It would give a whole new meaning to "triggered".

Walmart is to blame as much as a drug dealer is to blame. Pretty much a similar situation.

I'd heard that in their early days it was Walmart's goal to have a store within 30 miles of every American. They just about pulled it off.

Didn't Trump enact tariffs on some products coming from China? I think specifically steel products? I don't think Biden has recinded that one... after all, that's a hefty amount of money in government coffers....

Can you return the item as defective and at least get your money back?

They certainly can be characterized as an enabler, but I'd say the difference is that when they came onto the scene the addicts were already addicted.
