BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Mattel Inc, the world's largest toymaker, has recalled 155,000 of its products made in Mexico over safety concerns, an official at the company told Reuters on Tuesday. ADVERTISEMENT An official at the European Union's executive arm later confirmed that around 17,000 Mattel items had been recalled in Europe due to concerns that small pieces could detach from the toys and cause children to choke. Around 7,000 products have been withdrawn in Britain and Ireland, while 4,900 have been recalled in Italy, 4,900 in Germany and 394 in Austria. "The products concerned are Laugh & Learn and Learning Kitchen Toys, which are part of the Fisher-Price range," the Mattel official said. more

One of the biggest problems with the Mexican made toys was that after you wound them up, they'd walk out of the house, mow the lawn and then take a siesta under a tree. ;D

Ya can tell it's Mattell, it's swell.... Hey, Ohio-Art's "Etch-A-Setch" is now made in China. The factory in Ohio that made that toy closed up about 5 years ago. (Ohio Art is now China Art)
