I am trying very hard to understand why any manufacturer would go from using lead as a manufacturing material to cadmium.

The moral of the story is to never trust Chinese businesses. That's a given.

Any company that decides to have their products manufactored in China is as guilty as the Chinese factories that do the manufactoring. China is currently polluting the planet with the most unbelieveably badly made goods, some of which are positively dangerous. The price of a product alone can never be used as the deciding factor to buy, price AND quality should determine the issue. When an importer buys cheap or a company has their product made in China they become equally responcible the rubbish that ends up on sale. For the buyer it should be simple, do not buy anything made in China, and if you can’t see where a product is made ASK, and if you do not gat an answer then don’t buy. While the fools, the criminal and lazy continue to tolerate this madness that is bad Chinese manufacturing nothing is ever going to change.

grafton ,excellent post...but *not buying *China made product is NOT possible anymore. For example Australia is a country with abundant food supply, much more than anyone coud ever eat; but when I went to a major super market the other day and was looking for canned smoked oysters..and guess what ? Of the five famous brands available for the said products, they ALL are product of China! Market is simply FLOODED with chinese produtcs,no or very litlle other choice.
