Interview: More tariffs on China would cripple small U.S. toy companies, warns industry insider

Ken Silvestri, a staff worker of Choo Choo Shoes, shows the company's products to visitors at their booth during the 116th Annual North American International Toy Fair at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York, the United States, on Feb. 18, 2019. Imposing more tariffs on China would cripple the business of small U.S. toy companies that have made many success stories with their Chinese partners during the past decades, an industry insider has warned. "I think it would put us out of business. It would put most of the companies in our industry out of business," said Bob Grubba, founder & CEO of Choo Choo Shoes, in an interview with Xinhua at the New York Toy Fair last week.
