The chickens are coming home to roost in the form of class action lawsuits. The first against Mattel, is aimed at forcing the world's largest toy maker to pay for the testing of children who might have gotten lead poisoning from the toys. The latest Chinese-made playthings were die cast metal cars sold by Mattel that were recalled because of high levels of lead in the paint.
This is only the first lawsuit and I expect others. Again I have to wonder the cost benefits of making toys in China when you incorporate the legal problems. As a good friend who was a caterer once said, “the bitter taste of poor quality lingers long after the sweetness of low price.”
