October 27, 2009
Toy Recall Shows Challenge China Poses to Partners | online.wsj.com

There is mistrust of imports from developing countries, exacerbated by recalls such as experienced by Mattel, which attract disproportionate attention, in terms of levels of global trade. Buyers need to have extra vigilance as volumes start to recover and cost cutting measures that may have been implemented.
