"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"

we can make a difference.

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.
