I assume you are talking about radiation fear and not manufacturing plant destruction due to earthquake and tsunami damage? So are you going to not buy any fabric that has come in close contact with any fabric from Japan? How close? And how will you know? And how will you know when it was imported?

If a product made it out of Japan and into the US and passed both country's screening systems, now modified and increased because of the circumstances, and is sitting on retail shelves, odds are it's going to be safe...no matter what that product is. Let's be reasonable.

Thanks ghost rider! I have family there. On the other side of island. They still need to support family. No radiation there.

here's what i'm going to do.

i will peek into the shop window at night.

if anything is glowing in the dark, i won't buy it the next day. :lol:

seriously, though ... ghostrider is right. the Japanese people and government are not going to destroy the international reputation for honor they've spent longer than my lifetime building just to make a quick buck on anything.
