I thought this was interesting. The link is to the full article. Quote:
The growing crisis over the safety of China's exports claimed a new casualty yesterday with the suicide of a Chinese factory owner involved in the recall of 1.5m toys made for the world's biggest toy company.
Zhang Shuhong, head of the Lee Der Industrial Company, was reported by a state-owned newspaper to have killed himself following China's decision to impose an export ban on the firm.
Lee Der is a contract manufacturer for Mattel, the US toymaker which was forced to recall more than 1m products around the world after they were found to contain potentially dangerous levels of lead paint.
