Chinese Defense

While China did not comment directly on the recalls, it has maintained that the vast majority of Chinese made products meet established safety and quality standards. In the case of the August 1st recall, Mattel admitted that some of the issues were a result of design flaws unrelated to the manufacturing process.BBC: Mattel sorry for 'design flaws' (September 21, 2007)
