Angeleno of the Week: Mattel

The El Segundo-based Mattel apparently wasn’t keeping track close enough of its China-based toy manufacturers… and that’s now gonna cost them millions of dollars. It’s also hitting the Chinese toy industry hard.

For last week’s big time lead-paint toddler toy scare, Mattel is our Angeleno of the Week.
