Mattel Toy Sweatshops

---

Mattel the large toy company well known for making toys like Hot Wheels and several other toys recalled about 2 million products that contained excessive amounts of lead in them. Due to this recall, there is speculation as to having fault in their sweatshop factories. This case in China the workers are surrounded by huge fences and are given quarters made out of concrete. The rivers there are so polluted that the amount of pollution is two to three times as much as permitted in the United states. These workers are paid as little as 7 pence a week and work up to 15 hours non-stop. What can be done is to substitute workers for non human employees to increase work and production. Also, these people have the freedom to check in with a doctor to keep the amount of workers going without interference of production.
