Toy industry challenged by disposal plan

The lead painted toys that have been recalled by Mattel now pose an environmental problem...

When a majority of the products end up in the landfill the paint will leach off into the ground causing an environmental issue.

It looks like China found a way of disposing of it's waste instead of dumping it into it's own rivers...send it to America!!!

Buried in the article is the fact that laws would allow Mattel to "Re-export" toys that don't pose an environmental risk to another country for resale!!!!

Horrible!

Boycott Made in China!

What makes people act the way they do?

With all the recalls associated with Chinese products, do you look at the label now to see where a product is made?
