Mattel Apologizes to China for Recalls

Link: Mattel Apologizes to China for Recalls

"U.S.-based toy giant Mattel Inc. issued an extraordinary apology to China on Friday over the recall of Chinese-made toys, taking the blame for design flaws and saying it had recalled more lead-tainted toys than justified."

At first I thought this was an April Fool’s joke. I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s going to feel a twinge of nervousness if I ever Mattel toys for my kids in the future.

    China threatened them and they caved. Read the line about “most of your profits come from China manufacturing plants”! It is truly ridiculous.

    Now, we may never even find out when China screws up. Terrible…

    This is the country we prop up by not taking up the issues of Tibet and Taiwan. We (the US) are to blame for letting them get so powerful.

    Sad.
