BEIJING (Reuters) — Mattel, the world's largest toymaker, apologized on Friday for damaging China's reputation after recent massive recalls of its Chinese-made toys, admitting it targeted some goods that were actually up to scratch.
Mattel (MAT) has come under scrutiny following the recall of about 21 million toys worldwide in a span of five weeks, many because of excessive levels of lead paint.

"Our reputation has been damaged lately by these recalls," Thomas Debrowski, Mattel's executive vice president of worldwide operations, told China's quality watchdog chief, Li Changjiang, in the Chinese capital.

"Mattel takes full responsibility for these recalls and apologizes personally to you, the Chinese people and all of our customers who received the toys."

Debrowski said he realized the damage that had been done to the reputation of Chinese goods, adding the company was committed to manufacturing in China.


Rest of this lunacy HERE.



Now, let me get this straight. They send MILLIONS of poisonous toys over to OUR children, and Mattel is APOLOGIZING TO THEM?

WTF?


They kill our animals, then send us poisonous toothpaste, and now rotten toys, and Mattel is APOLOGIZING TO THEM?

This goes under not NO, but

HELL NO.

Reputation to Chinese goods?

STOP SENDING US POISONED PRODUCTS AND THERE WILL BE NO REPUTATION TO DAMAGE.

Mattel wants to make sure that whatever other goods they have coming in from China actually makes it here for Christmas 2007.

Hopefully, parents will realize that books don't have lead in them.
