Mattel Toy Recall: Nearly 20m Toys Recalled

The Mattel toy recall involves the recall of 436,000 toys due to high lead levels and another 18.2 million recalls because of dangerous magnet toys.

Lead is poisonous to humans and so that is why the Mattel toy recall had to take place.

Regarding the Mattel toy recall the company said:

“The safety of children is our primary concern, and we are deeply apologetic to everyone affected,” Robert Eckert, chairman and chief executive officer of Mattel, said in a statement. “We don’t want to have recalls, but we don’t hesitate to take quick and effective action to correct issues as soon as we’ve identified them to ensure the safety of our products and the safety of children.”

This is the second Mattel toy recall recently, after Mattel recalled a million toys due to concerns over high lead levels earlier this summer.
