Television's '60 Minutes' recently reported on Lumber Liquidators selling wood flooring from China with dangerous levels of formaldehyde. Turns out wood flooring isn't the only dangerously inferior Chinese product sold in the U.S. Chinese-made emergency brake cables are also putting Americans at risk, says American manufacturer of emergency brake cables that pass the same tests.

Efforts to convince the NHTSA to look into possibly faulty imported brake cables have gone unanswered. Considering the inherent hazards of faulty brake cables, the owner of American made Bruin Brake Cables asks, "What will it take?"

President Barack Obama's words, in the State of the Union Address, about protecting American companies from unfair overseas competition were optimistically received by Rick Gelscheit, owner of Bruin Brake Cables. Unfortunately, he's heard them before. He's hopeful but has yet to be convinced.
