Leviton GFCI Receptacles

[Jim33063]

I recently purchased a three pack of Leviton GFCI receptacles at Home Depot, and I noticed that they are now being manufactured in China . I don't know what to think about the quality of the product, and the funny thing is the price is still the same.
I personally would feel better installing a product that's Made in the USA, Thats was one of the reasons I was buying leviton in the first place.
What do you guys feel about this ?

Eventually eveything will be made in China. We just can't beat slave labor rates here in America. Hopefully the QC stays in place.

those GFCIs have been made in china for as long as I can remember as are most GFCIs. I think anything with a PCB in it is made in china these days.

You can't swing a cat by the tail without hitting something made in China.

I get paid to install devices, not worry about where they are made.

... I noticed that they are now being manufactured in China .

That's interesting. I just checked the ones I have, and they're all made in plastic.

Only if they contain lethal amounts of lead.

Only if they contain lethal amounts of lead.

Do you need to be 'lead certified' to install them?

Do you need to be 'lead certified' to install them?

Only if you remove them in the USA.....
