Here is a recipe for disaster. Send your toy designs to China to be produced. That seems to be the problem with Mattel these days. After the lead paint problem for their Fisher-Price toys, now they have found lead paint in die cast metal toys and potentially dangerous magnets in a host of others. The recall will cost the company millions and an unimaginable amount of prestige. No longer will parents be able to buy Mattel toys with confidence, and that is as it should be for all toys.
Lead paint disappeared from American made toys decades ago and now it resurfaces in cheap toys made in China. Why? No regulations over in that country, so questionable materials are par for the course. Frankly I am surprised this hasn’t happened sooner. If there were ever an argument for “Made in USA” products this is it. It should be a wakeup call to American companies who chase low price manufacturing and risk their reputation.
