China + Mattel + Toys + Lead = Problems
Mattel’s Quality Control department was obviously Out To Lunch on this one.
Mattel chief executive Bob Eckert kept dodging the lead when asked a series of questions by ABC’s Chris Cuomo.

Milk has gone way up in price and is now $4.50 a gallon, Orange Juice is $3.00 a gallon, and Gas is down to $2.67 a gallon. Michael Vick (Biteball QB) was bitten by a dog rap and is most likely out for the season.

Chinese Recalls China
Chinese Recalls China
Things are so bad these days that about every other week there is another high profile recall involving Chinese goods.
Pet food, Tires, Toothpaste, Toys and more toys and this time it’s Fisher Price in a one million toy recall,

In 2006, the U.S. imported about $288 billion in goods from China and you know what that means, even more potential recalls. Do yourself a favor the next time you go shopping, pick up an item, any item and see where it’s made, chances are it won’t be from the United States.
Probably the best thing China can do at this time is to recall the country of China, before the next big product recall is announced in the coming weeks.
