In just the latest in a litany of Chinese product bashing, the American toy company Mattel has been in hot water lately for selling products manufactured in China that contain lead paint. Mattel, with super-products like Barbie, has had international media frenzy on their hands. But where does this leave China? They were also blamed for the pet food scare recently, and according to the above youtube reuters video for selling toxic fish and toothpaste. Is China the fall guy? Or are there really serious problems over there with the quality of exports? If Mattel knows that quality is a concern, should they still be manufacturing their products in China, and at what point to they directly take the responsibility? Some media outlets think that Mattel has used efficient public relations in this catastrophe, as the link shows: http://au.news.yahoo.com/071001/3/14kcb.html, but it will be interesting to see how Mattel, and China fair after the recent fumbles.
