Shuhong Not-So-Surprised

A few weeks ago, I wondered when and how this was going to happen.

From BBC News

Chinese toy boss 'kills himself'
The boss of a Chinese toy firm involved in a huge safety recall has committed suicide, Chinese media has said.

Zhang Shuhong, who co-owned the Lee Der Toy Company, was reportedly found dead at his factory in southern China.

About 1.5 million toys made for Fisher Price, a subsidiary of US giant Mattel, were withdrawn from sale earlier this month. Many were made by Lee Der.

There's quite a bit of finger pointing going on with this story and I can't help but wonder if Mr. Shuhong was truly culpable in the production of toxic toys.

His death leaves many questions unanswered.

As usual.
