Author's somber note: Government officials are dithering on this issue, and as yet haven't come up with a plan to stop the import of dangerous toys, nor have manufacturers announced 'this is enough,' and will no longer deal with Chinese manufactures and bring the jobs home.
After having devastated the American job market and our manufacturing base in favor of outsourcing for cheap labor and inferior products, they've been bitten in the ass by the Chinese, costing them their reputations and a bunch of money.
Even after all the complaints, they still don't seem to care about their reputations, which are in ill repute, so let's hope that money's voice screams loudly and clearly.
Trying to killing them financially, attorney Jeffrey Killino (Woloshin and Killino), filed a class-action suit against Mattel in Los Angeles Superior Court on August 21.
In the suit, Killino is demanding that Mattel pay for the testing of thousands of children who may have been exposed to lead.
If Killino wins in court and with the ultra high cost of medical testing and treatment, it should cost Mattel enough to teach them a lesson they won't soon forget, if not drive them out of business.
They built their business from a tiny plant in Venice, California, and grew into a mega billion dollars business on the good will and trust of the American people. They deserve no less than to pay a heavy price for their betrayal of American children and American workers.
