I always refer to that smell as the products being covered in 2 week old Chinese food. They put cosmoline on everything. But I believe it is the rubber products, and it is probably lead or some type of radioactive material to be certain...

This is after all the same evolution we watched Japan go through during the 70s and 80s and by the 90s Japan became one of the best at manufacturing. It still hurts me that we're off shoring our manufacturing to them, we only help China grow faster than the U.S. in that regard and catch up with us. A lot of technology is coming out of Japan, and even China these days...one day they may be better than the U.S., and that's a scary thought.

That said, the reason I recommended your LWS is that you may need their help in the future, if nothing else but to buy gas. Tungsten is available in packs for 3 to get you started for the price of a happy meal.
