The Chinese toy recall just got worse. It now totals over 9 millions toys, including Batman action figures from the Magna line. This latest recall seems to mostly be for hazardous magnets.

Yesterday it was reported that the CEO of the toy company committed suicide over the weekend.

[No]

just... [No]

Paraphrasing one of the comments... If the guy was so "disgraced" that he killed himself over this scandal, where was that shame when he allowed substandard parts and practices? [AHHHH!!!!] [Mad]

Mattel Announces 3rd Chinese Toy Recall

This one appears to be mainly for unacceptable levels of lead in paints.
