By the way, anybody who plans to boycott Mattel should also boycott the other toy companies in the US--(Hasbro for instance)--with very few exceptions. If you don't think most companies get their toys from China, think again. Even small companies are involved--the lead problem with Thomas the Tank Engine toys was with a firm called RC2.

Basically, if you are very concerned about the problem you should only buy toys made in Germany or somewhere similar where they are environmentally aware--and don't pay starvation wages.
