How can we be considered a country of freedom and treat children of other countries like this? NBC Dateline®Investigative Report:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------"Stuffed Toy Industry"-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stone Phillips, with hidden cameras went undercover, as an American stuffed animal manufacturer, to Indonesia were 80% of toys are made. The American public will be shocked and outraged, or should be, by what they found!Underage workers as young as 13 years old $ .10 per day labor rate. YES.. as in 1/10 of a Dollar per Day! Companies such as Walt Disney®, Eden Company®, Mattel®, etc., Little children making Barbie Dolls® for American girls. When asked if they owned one, the answer was a revolting no, as it would take over 2 years of working in this child labor camp to purchase a single Barbie Doll®. The critics call it "a race to the bottom", finding the cheapest place to make a buck. Japan, China, Indonesia and the picture looks like Vietnam is next. Greedonomics is the moral fiber, sic, of these practices where the markups are 200 to 1,000%. (Example: Paddington Bears® cost $.70 to produce, pack, and ship to United States where they sell for $ 8.00) When the "informed" American public purchases imported stuffed animals they are indeed saying, "I don’t care about":Human Rights Child Labor Illegal Activities The Exploitation and Decay of Third World Countries Consumers must check the labels to insure the country of origin. Some companies try to fool the American Public with words like, "... an American Company", "Designed in America". Other companies have their stuffed animals sewn in other countries then "finish" (i.e. put the tag on) and then call themselves Made in USA. It’s a scam to "use" the proud term "Made in USA" to lie, cheat and steal from you, the consumer. Stop, stand up and vote, by:Refusing to give them your dollars The employees, houses, schools, education, etc., you are saving could be your own, your neighbors, your friends, or even your families! Would you, as an American Consumer, want to see your child and grandchild suffer the indignant and deplorable conditions these young children endure? If you would like to get involved about the Human Rights violations and unethical practices please write your local politician, or call "Made in America Foundation" @.1-800-USA-PRIDE Together we can make a difference. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Just - In!!!! Official Princess Diana teddy bears are being made in sweatshops by youngsters paid slave wages of just 35 cents an hour, according to Britain's Sun tabloid. The huge demand for the toys means teenagers in China are forced to work 10-hour shifts, six days a week, claims the paper. The U.S. toy giant "TY, Inc.®", insists no child labor is involved in making the 9 inch high purple Princess Bear -- the only toy officially endorsed by the Diana Fund.
