Mattel Recalls More Chinese-made Toys

Mattell Inc. (NYSE: MATis recalling millions of Chinese-made toys.

1. they could have magnets that can be swallowed. (The toys do make it easier to find your kids. Turn on the electromagnetic machine and wait for them to come flying.)

2. Lead paint

7.3 million play set

Polly Pocket dolls

Batman Action figures (Batman wears black)

1.5 million die-cast cars

Some 80% of the world's toys are made in China. Perhaps another country is ready to step up….or so fears the toy sellers in the Middle Kingdom.

All things considered, it is still not worth commiting suicide over. The boss of one of the local Chinese toy companies took his life because of pressure he faced in connection with the recent massive recall.
