So Mattel
"Mattel takes full responsibility for these recalls and apologizes personally to you, the Chinese people, and all of our customers who received the toys," said Mattel executive Tom Debrowski.
I realize that China's reputation has taken a hit, but is this what we're down to?
If so, I speak on behalf of toy buyers everywhere.
I'm sorry, Mattel. I'm sorry that we bought your toxic toys by the millions.
I take full responsibility for buying my son one of those Sarge toys. I take full responsibility for taking him to see the Disney
(NYSE:DIS) flicks and Viacom(NYSE:VIA) TV shows that inspired some of those licensed toys. I owe a bigger apology to RC2(NASDAQ:RCRC) , because my youngest son has been drawn to those red tank engine toys from Thomas & Friends like a bull to a matador.Matador? Bad taste? I know. That's one more reason for me to apologize. And I'm awful glad I never coated any of those toys in ConAgra's
(NYSE:CAG) batch of tainted Peter Pan peanut butter.
Phew!
