cheap toys, sad

The news broke this morning that Mattel will announce another toy recall of products made in China. The tipster was anonymous, and I suspect this one might be even bigger than the last one.

It is scary and pathetic that our drive for ever-more, ever-cheaper products is coming back to haunt us. That's not quite the right way to say it, of course. Maybe I'll work on a more cogent commentary later in the day.
