The 2007 Chinese export confidence crisis refers to a series of product recalls and import bans initiated by the product safety institutions of the United States and European Union against products manufactured in and exported from the People's Republic of China because of numerous consumer safety issues claimed from the importing nations. Events included in the export confidence crisis include recalls on consumer goods such as pet food, toys, toothpaste, and a ban on certain types of seafood. Also included are reports on the poor crash safety of Chinese automobiles, slated to enter the American and European markets in 2008. This has created adverse consequences for the confidence in the safety and quality of Chinese manufactured goods in the global economy.
