Mattel Issues Apology to China Over Recalls

The Wall Street Journal online

today notes that Mattel apologized today to China over its recall of Chinese-made toys, admitting that the vast majority of the recalled items were defective because of design flaws rather than faulty manufacturing, leading to a recall of more lead-tainted Chinese toys than was justified.  The carefully worded apology was made by Thomas A. Debrowski, Mattel's executive vice president for world-wide operations, in a meeting with Li Changjiang, Chinese product safety chief.
