I’m confused. How is lead in paint and plastic a “design flaw”?

The magnets were the design flaw I guess. The lead paint problem was only a very small number of the recalled products.

Small percentage my ass. This is their way of attempting to regain the consumer’s trust in China imports so they don’t have to manufacture toys somewhere that would cost more.

If it’s such a smaller percentage and they’ve identified the problem toys, why is my contact still on mandatory overtime and the lab “they” work at is testing paint samples pretty much non-stop?

Upper management isn’t bound by reality. They just act according to what they want reality to be and the rest of us minions scurry around trying to keep their bubble from bursting.

Truth from Jimmy Fry. I love the corporate concept though. You’re supposed to be the team player, work as one, etc all to get your employer more money (the antithesis of the expectations for yourself).
