Outsourcing coming back to bite corporate america in the behind

976,000 Fisher Price toys, made in China, have high levels of lead in the paint. Gonna cost the good folks at Mattel $30 million. Wonder how much they initially saved, by having the toys made in China in the first place, as opposed to being made in the states.

Wonder if they are selling counterfeit Fisher-Price toys as well now.....

It's even worse in the tech support field. Try to get some help from the American company you thought you did business with and you are routed to some guy in India who is practically clueless, but comes very cheap.
