We have decided to start The Shun List: companies that you should send a message to by voting with your wallet and avoiding at all costs. The first inductee is Mattel, for choosing money above doing the right thing:

56 Members of Congress want to know why Mattel CEO Robert Eckert refuses to issue a nationwide recall for a toy blood-pressure cuff that is contaminated with lead.

Time to vote with your wallet, people. Send an email to Mattel, and tell them why you won’t be buying their toys. And while you’re at it, do the same to our second inductee Hasbro, for stomping all over the memory and wishes of the real G.I. Joe (U.S. Marine Sgt. Mitchell Paige) and turning G.I. Joe into a “multi-national fighting force based in Brussles” all for money.

It’s time to loudly, and publicly, boycott these companies. Mattel’s contact information. Hasbro’s contact information.
