Adding another twist to this story, The boss of a Chinese toy firm involved in a huge safety recall has committed suicide, Chinese media has said. Zhang Shuhong, who co-owned the Lee Der Toy Company, was reportedly found dead at his factory in southern China. About 1.5 million toys made for Fisher Price, a subsidiary of US giant Mattel, were withdrawn from sale earlier this month. Many were made by Lee Der.
Although I tend to leave conspiracy theories to books and television, one can’t help but think whether Mr Zhang was ultimately responsible for the huge recall of toys. Growing pains as I mentioned is an inevitable thing; for China, the path is just a little more slippery.
