Mattel is not having a good year when it comes to relations with their Chinese manufacturers. This is their second recall within a month that involves products coming out of China. Both recalls involve lead-based paint, however they are from two different Chinese manufacturers. This recall also involves some products with magnets.
Mattel is not taking this situation lightly. They even have their CEO, Bob Eckert, giving an explanation, apologizing, and asking for the consumers trust via video on their web site.
