TOXIC CHINA
Children's beads containing a date rape drug. Lead based Barbie. Poisonous pet food. The drug "Bath Salts", and now a pillow made in China. Known as "The Hug Pillow". The pillow has literally smothered and or strangled to death 3 American teen girls and gouged out the eyes of a forth victim in her mid 30's. She is now permanently blind.

VICTIMS

Do You Need a Hug? A Robotic Pillow Can Help.

One month after a state wide recall went into effect on "The Hug Pillow", the product was found in 6 department stores 2 of those stores being Walmart, and 6 mom and pop shops around the midwest area. Over 278 of the novelty pillows have been sold during that time and many consumers don't have any idea what kind of deadly killer they are bringing into their homes.

ALERT

Chinese clones and rip-offs are nothing new. "The Hug Pillow" is a rip-off clone of an American product called "The Hug".

The Hug - A pillow designed by robotics researchers at Carnegie Mellon is meant to provide a grandparent with the warmth of one of her grandchildren's hugs.

    A lot of things has been recalled from China. Maybe they are trying to kill us. And "The Hug Pillow". It has literally smothered and or strangled to death 3 American teen girls and gouged out the eyes of a forth victim in her mid 30's. She is now permanently blind and can't speak.

    No way! They actually made it strong enough to kill someone???

    Has anyone noticed the HUGE grammar and spelling mistakes in the news article? This damn idiot made it up, most likely, and is just scaring people. Make sure what you read is from a REAL source, not this douchebag.

All I can say is " you ignorant azz Walmart shoppers " You would rather die then give an American another quarter for quality clean products . I remember the lead painted toys and Walmart calling china and apologizes. WTF ?

    The big draw for Chinese products is the cheap price - unfortunately most of their products are shoddily made crap. Chinese made garbage breaks the 2nd or 3rd time you use it - then you go buy a replacement. So how much money have you saved? ZERO! You'll spend more! I gladly pay double, or more to buy good quality American made products.

    There is a style of Chinese boat that is called a JUNK - 'nuff said.

    I would like to have voted "all of the above" on this question. This is horrific and more needs to be done to warn consumers, as this is the first I have heard of this.

    The whole idea of this pillow intrigued me. All I can find about it is that it's like $30. For $30 I doubt it has enough oomph in it to do much...never mind suffocate or blind - which I couldn't find any references to anywhere.

    Which doesn't make anyone's owning one of these less pathetic, just safer.

    That is not "The Hug Pillow", The pillow we are talking about is around $399.99 at Costco. That is when they carried it before being banned.
    You are thinking of a cheap Chinese knock off of a cheap Chinese product called the hug me pillow. That is just a stuffed pillow for around 30 bucks.

    Here is also a link to a robotic hug pillow. This is not the same brand name and is not quite the same product, but very very close.

    YIKES ..
    I've always made a conscious choice ..
    to not waste my income on cheap junk ..
    (I'm also someone who won't buy things just because they are trendy either)

    Scary indeed ..
    who would want anything like that anyways?
    (I certainly do NOT need nor want any creepy pillow with arms .. )

    Just be AWARE of how you are spending your HARD-EARNED INCOME ..
    and don't waste funds on stuff like this!

    The only way to stop it is to have a regulatory agency review everything coming into the country from China. I'm sure that whatever agency would currently have responsibility for this kind of inspection is probably on the GOP chopping block.
    My son just returned from a vacation in Bermuda. He bought two coffee mugs for his Dad and me. They are very pretty but they were made in China NOT Bermuda. So this is going on everywhere. It's cheap labor, cheap prices and they don't give a damn who they hurt or kill.

    i remember years ago in the early 70's my parents took us to mexico where we bought a soup bowl set with a ladle, and got one for our grandparents. The thing turned out to be riddled with lead. So we stopped using it. We ended up using the pottery set to hold fake flowers and a hot glue gun to keep the arrangement together.

    I would be more upset with whatever regulatory agency allowed this thing into this country. Was it even screened for safety. I know that stuff produced here is subject to safety rules but what about crap from China. Someone is asleep at the switch.
