Serves Mattel right. Did they seriously expect cheap labour to produce high quality? You’d think they’d be more careful. After all, most of their clients are children.

The Mattel incident is a great example of what happens when quality control does not exist, or is not followed and itself tested.

Great blog!

If the economics don’t work, recycling efforts won’t either.
Http://LivePaths.com blogs about innovative entrepreneurs that make money selling recycled or reused items, provide green services or help us reduce our dependency on non renewable resources. These includes some very cool Green online ventures and investments opportunities.

I read this article… I thought the one where Apple sent the little girl a letter telling her to ceast and desist sending ideas in was funny and sad.

This pretty much ruins my plans to start up a business making lead-flavour lollipops.

Unless I move to China, of course.

Good. That’s what Mattel gets for opting for the absolute cheapest labor they could find to work on products for little children. Not a very smart move. Dirt cheap and ‘good’ quality do not mix.
