More Crisis Management

It is a subject we have blogged about before and is something that is still very much of interest to all at Gemini- Crisis management.

This time it’s Mattel’s turn. The breaking news last night was that they had to recall something in the region of 11 million toys worldwide, including 2 million in the UK and Ireland. Not only that, but the manager of one Chinese factory had committed suicide following the allegations.

I saw the head of Mattel on the news apologising, as well as an American health and safety official…we’ll wait with baited breath how Mattel deal with this, and –dare I say it- with Christmas 4 months away, will Barbie and Batman be off the wish lists this year?
