Mattel recalls 800,000 lead-tainted toys
9/5/07

NEW YORK - Mattel Inc.'s reputation took another hit after the world's largest toy maker announced a third major recall of Chinese-made toys in little more than a month because of excessive amounts of lead paint.
The latest action, which involved about 800,000 toys and which was announced late Tuesday, is yet another blow to Mattel. The news, along with other recent recalls of tainted Chinese toys from other toy makers, could also make parents even more nervous about shopping for toys this holiday season.
The latest Mattel recall, whose details were negotiated by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, covers 675,000 Barbie accessories sold between October 2006 and August of this year. No Barbie dolls were included in the action.

Is anyone else seeing a problem here? At this point I don't think these are mistakes but more of China's anger at the U.S. Hope I'm wrong......

Yeah, it was retaliation by the Chinese for finding some nematodes in packing material... LOL... http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/PEK266957.htm
