I just don't understand how this can happen in this day and age.

unfortunately, I think it's 'this day and age' that makes it even more possible for it to happen. Manufacturers constantly look for the cheapest way to manufacture their products and don't always ask all the questions they should (or even want answers). When something gets outsourced to a third world country where workers are getting paid pennies per day and some materials are cheaper than others... many big companies say yes to profits before they say yes to ethics.
As consumers, we often don't get a chance to find things like this out until well after the fact - if we find out at all...
