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.

Where is the RESPONSIBILITY of the American CEO?

Reading an article in the paper about the Mattel CEO, Robert Eckert, on his testimony before Congress, and in the middle, it hit me:

Where is the RESPONSIBILITY of the American CEO?

One of the men over in China kills himself in 'shame', and Mr. Eckert has overseen the flooding of the American toy market, with dangerous toys to our children.

Mattel has recalled TWENTY ONE MILLION TOYS.

TWENTY ONE MILLION DEFECTIVE TOYS.

And, the best he can do is a ' My bad, we're going to do better'?'

Why does he have a job after selling our children poisonous toys?

I don't have any children, but I don't think you need to in order to grasp that this man shouldn't be employed by Mattel anymore.


Just wondering.
