You'd think that that design of these toys with tiny magnets was faulty to begin with...regardless of where these toys were manufactured. I'd think that someone at Mattel should have reconsidered this toy design.)
Low cost of manufacturing is all I think of.

Why else would the US outsource the toy industry to save money on labor costs?
