Mattel's response

“Mattel is committed to ensuring every single person making our toys and products is treated fairly, with respect, and is able to work in a safe and healthy environment. Following the China Labor Watch report issued in November 2019, we requested the ICTI Ethical Toy Program (IETP) immediately look into the claims which pertain to Foshan Nanhai Mattel Precision Diecasting Co., Ltd (MFC). IETP conducted its investigation on December 3-4, 2019 and concluded that MFC is in full compliance with the IETP Audit Checklist. Mattel is committed to a strong safety culture and is reviewing IETP’s report to determine the steps that can be taken to improve workplace safety, including for example, enhancing communication of the safety training that is available to employees both in the classroom and workshop.”
