Jesus, I've said "China and other places" for a reason, there were plenty of examples of exactly this happening with Chinese steel[0], but this was the most recent example of contaminated steel entering consumer products that I could find.

You said: "China(and potentially other places)". You explicitly put it in a seperate category when the source you linked didn't.

Notice the weasel word "plenty", you're still trying to imply there's something special going on there when this whole thread is full of people talking about steel contamination going on globally.

You also claimed they "are willing to accept incredibly dangerous(and expensive to recycle) material and melt it into their main steel supply." when your own article is about radioactive contamination being tracked down in a way that indicates that it's not the norm.

Here's an article about China explicitly denying radioactive scrap. None of the examples involving other countries in this thread seemed willful either.
