Where is Mattel in all of this? Don’t they design and set the requirements for the toys? Seems to me the manufacture was just doing that the client wanted. I think Mattel carries the lion share of the blame here.

Wasn't lead paint banned in this country like 20 years ago? That's the problem when you're dealing with manufacturing sites like China -- they have a completely different set of standards then we do here. The Chinese want to make money as fast as they can using the least expensive raw materials. The workers are paid slave wages and the top executives are open to bribes. Hardly, the ideal set-up for any kind of quality control.
