Mattel has another Barbie problem


Danwei points at another problems toy giant Mattel is having with Barbie, although it is not the one with lead in its paint as far as I can see. Although China Barbie focuses more on an adult audience, Mattels seems to think that we might be confused.
Without the help of Mattel we would never have found this site, so, thank you. Mattel only wants a 100,000 USD in compensation, that is pretty low for this high-end promotion.

Only an idiot would confuse China Barbie and her offerings with Mattel's plastic Barbie doll. It would be amusing to see the US Distict Judge incorporate this view into his/her eventual Opinion and Decision, if the matter gets that far. I'm not sure I understand Shopgirl's description, however, since I don't know whether she's referring to the China Barbie or the plastic dollie or the controversy. Could she provide more specificity for this simple country lawyer?
