    Mattell recalls 9mln toys

    http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/08/14/recall/index.html


    If anyone has kids, might want to look at Mattel's recall site just in case. The owner of the chinese manufacturer already committed suicide over the weekend saying their estimated losses are $30mln.

                  I wonder if the chinese company knew they were putting dangerous amounts of lead in the paint?

                                  As an analyst was saying in a news interview. The reason why manufacturers have moved production to China is because there is less regulation there. That cuts costs (or increases profits, whichever way one wants to see it). Less regulation means potentially more dangerous products. These problems will continue to crop up (as they have in foods and numerous other products we get from China) because China lacks any oversight or regulatory bodies. The only way to change this is for American consumers to force companies to check their imported products before putting them in stores.

                                              Sadly, the average American doesn't care as long as they can save $1.50 on a Bratz doll at Wal-Mart or 22 cents on a can of dog food...
