Well, it's only the recall of nearly a million toys by El Segundo-based Mattel, one of Socal's biggest public companies. They're only Chinese-made toys that have too much lead paint (kind of a problem with Chinese stuff these days). Guess that didn't merit enough attention by the Spring Street folks, who saw fit to bury the news on page three of this morning's business section (wire story, natch). Not that they pay attention to this sort of thing, but the NYT had it at the top of its biz section. Well, at least latimes.com is on the case today, choosing to highlight it on its main Web page. They're still using wire, but hey, at least they've got a video clip.
