What you quoted is very misleading! Taiyo Yuden is a global company that makes a number of products in many countries. Nowhere does it say where their CD-Rs are made. You cannot legally print "Made in Japan" on the label unless the product is made in Japan. Their are ways around this but I don't see how they would apply in this case. If they did, it would be consumer fraud.
Taiyo Yuden may produce discs in Taiwan also but then they would have to be marked as such! I have not seen any that say this but it is possible. If the package says "Made in Japan" then I belive those discs were made in Japan. --- Ken Mininger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I get my spindles of 50 from Kmart...$19.99 regular > price. > Made in Taiwan stamped right on the side.
