Hello-- With all of the China recalls, I was wondering if I should stop eating the paint chips off of my Roketa?

I heard that the main ceo of the china manufacturing plant killed himself over this. Mattel had recieved samples of the toys and oked all of them. Then after placing a 30mil. order and recieving the toys distributing them into the us market decided they were unsafe. Mattel did not pay for the whole order upfront so now the manufacture is out 15 mil plus. Oh and btw Mattel is keeping the toys and will probably redistribute in another country.

I heard the CEO's best freind was the guy who ran the plant that supplied the paint. Supposedly he knew the paint contained lead, but lied about it to the toy guy. Wonder when he'll be executed.
