Will Mattel’s latest recalls slow down corporate flight to countries with cheap labor?
Question by ArRo: Will Mattel’s latest recalls slow down corporate flight to countries with cheap labor?
This could prove to be more expensive for Mattel than if they had not moved to Mexico and to China. Bring the jobs back to Americans, Barbie.
Oh man…I was hoping for different answers… but I suppose you are all correct. It’s like the corporations are making the USA a “bedroom community”, with less industry.

Probably not, I heard on NPR that the recall previoius to this one that Matell had to deal with cost them ,000,000 and yet they did not pull out of China after that !

i know they have the power to recommend something be recalled, but can they actually shut down a company if their products are unsafe for the consumer?

Vampire: The Masquerade – Redemption – 01 (The Caped Crusader Goes Down, Gets Back Up)
Mmhmm. A nice non-Tolkien-esque WRPG to sate our … hunger. Heh. Talkin’ about some real vampires here too. Not the glittery metrosexual ladyboys of our current culture. We’re talking about scary, creepy, and downright ghoulish creatures with often sick fucked up ethos surrounding their weird ideology. Something to think on for those of you turned off by this: I hate vampires. I think the mythology is stupid. How good is this game? I love it anyway. THAT good. It’s not perfect. It is, however, groundbreaking for it’s time, and ballsy as shit in some of the design and core gameplay decisions. I think it’ll be a lot of fun to work our way through so join me or go be dumb in some gay night club bathroom you dumb poopie peepee you.

In each case the creationist statements are shown to be outrageously stupid by even the most rudimentary knowledge of science. In this episode it is shown how little the creationists know about information, and what it does for civilization. It is also highlighted how the creationist organization The Discovery Institute has dropped the term ‘intelligent design’ in their latest video, where they do not utter it once. Creationists are ultimately antisocial polluters of the fountain of knowledge at the heart of our civilization. They are willing to do anything, including pissing in the fountain of knowledge itself to try to discredit the discoveries of mankind that conflict with their bronze age religions.

Question by bpgagirl22: Re: Mattel Toys – How can we retain our faith in a company who has so blatantly let their customers down?!?
Robert Eckert, chairman & CEO of Mattel, warned @ a news conference last month that there may be more recalls of tainted toys as the company steps up its investigations into its Chinese factories & retests products. Still, the latest action could be another blow to Mattel, which had cultivated an image of tightly controlling production in China. The Consumer Product Safety Comm. also said yesterday that it was considering a possible investigation of whether Mattel notified authorities as quickly as it should have in connection with the Aug. 14 recall. With more than 80 % of toys sold worldwide made in China, toy sellers are nervous that shoppers will shy away from their products during this year’s critical holiday season. Last month, Mattel vowed that it would tighten its controls at its factories in China.
