Mattel's executive vice-president said not the chinese producers made mistake

The vast majority of those products that were recalled were the result of a design flaw in Mattel's design, not through a manufacturing flaw in China's manufacturers

U.S. toy manufacturer Mattel apologized to China on Friday,
taking responsibility for recent toy recalls and admitting they were due to
"design flaws." More than 21 million Chinese-made Mattel toys were included
in three recalls ordered by the company this summer.
The apology, though delayed, should help dispel the
suspicion American customers harbor against Chinese-made products and clean up
the stain the recalls left on the innocent Chinese workers who make a living
doing honest labor.
