MEDIA STATEMENT
MATTEL
June 5, 2008

Mattel is withdrawing certain limited products from retailer shelves worldwide. While these products meet with applicable local standards, the products do not meet Mattel internal specifications. Because these toys are safe, it is not necessary for us to “recall” them from the market. To confirm, no U.S. standards have been violated and no recall under federal law is warranted.

So there you go. I’d like to think the collector chatter about this will die down now, but we’re in the dead period between DCUC waves two and three and there’s nothing else to talk about, it seems. Hurry up, wave 3!

Speaking of wave 3, here are some carded pics in case you haven’t seen them. Love that Deathstroke.
