Why don't we ask the stockholders of Mattel what they think of their
CEO right now?


Will he be entitled to his bonus while he is directly responsible for
exposing millions of children to lead poisoning?


I suggest prison time for his bonus so he can readjust his
priorities...proper QA for quality products.

Problem is that it's still way to early for Christmas.

If this had been big news in November - he'd be in trouble.

But by the time the Christmas season comes along it will be old news.

Yawn.

It's an attention span problem...

You too must not have kids....Mattel has to convince millions of
parents that they have safe toys.

Hmmm....buy a toy for little Sally that might poison her or buy
something else that I the parent won't have to worry about....I wonder
what they will do?

And the recall news is at the worst time for the toy industry...the
toys for Christmas are already in transit to the United States. Any
inspection will be at the retailers that sell the toys...and they will
not be able to make the deadline.
