I like it when people admit they are wrong and are empathic about it.
Mattel is not. They are sorry and are looking for excuses and appear to only have their business model and subcontractors in mind. They should put the customer first and fire those who made the bad toys and find another company that, in China for all I care, will make them.“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect.

IIRC, for China:
there were three major recalls of toys due to lead paint,
a recall because of the magnets and/or other detactable parts,
a recall of defective tires,
a recall of contaminated cancer medication,
and a recall of lead-containing lunch pails

More "design flaws:"
Mattel in fresh toy recall alert
Toy firm Mattel is recalling 55,000 Chinese-made toys after lead contamination fears, the US has said.
The recall affects 38,000 toys in the US, 12,000 toys in the UK and the Irish Republic and 5,500 toys in Canada.
The items affected are Go Diego Go Animal Rescue Boat toys imported by Fisher Price.
The move is part of a wider recall of 665,000 by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). Mattel recalled million of toys over the summer.
Mattel's profits have fallen slipped by 1% over the past three months, in the wake of the recalls.
Scrutiny
Earlier in the summer the firm made two large-scale recalls that affected 18.6 million toys, including certain Diego toys.
Consumer Product Safety Commission spokesperson Julie Vallese said the recalls stemmed from the improved examination of goods announced earlier.
"The CPSC, as well as manufacturers, continue to look for products that may violate the lead paint standard," said Ms Vallese.
The Diego boats had been identified during retroactive testing on items that had been set aside after August's recalls, said Mattel spokesperson Lisa Marie Bongiovanni.
This latest recall marks the fourth in six months, prompting the EU to embark on a two-month review of its toy safety regulations, expected to be complete in November.
"There is more to be done to step up controls," said Meglena Kuneva, the EU's consumer commissioner after announcing the recall that affected the items in the UK and the Irish Republic.

Punishment should fit the crime...Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”
The world, in the last three hundred years, has not changed except in that sense.
The simple suggestion of a true change scandalizes and terrifies modern man. -Nicolás Gómez Dávila
