Mattel Apologizes…

Most people would be gratified to learn that Mattel, the giant toy company, has finally come out and apologized.

What most will find hard to believe is that they made their apologies not to all of those parents who were treated badly by the toy company but to the Chinese Communist government.

In the apology, the Executive Vice President of Mattel said that the recalls were not due to the mistakes of the Chinese but to their own design department.

This speech was delivered to the Chinese head of the Department that controls quality.

if we had any doubts, this admission makes crystal clear that Mattel sees its future inextricably connected to its manufacturing partner, Communist China.

One might also tend to wonder why Mattel hasn’t shown equal seriousness in its intentions to the people of America.

Aren’t the people who received toys with small parts that could be swallowed be entitled to an apology?

Shouldn’t all those who paid top dollar for expensive brands be apologized to for not being told that the toys they bought were painted with lead base paints. And isn’t it shabby that this brand would stoop to such measures to save a few cents…

I am starting to feel that Mattel has gone through the rabbit hole, and for perhaps decades has nurtured an upside down Alice-like view of its loyalties and its commitments.

I for one who bought Mattel toys for all six of my grandchildren, will no longer allow these products to come into my home.

If the largest marketer of toys is more concerned with product profits than its commitment to toys than I for one say “enough is enough.” Mattel, you are no longer welcome in my home.
