>>8311775>Mega was doing better as their own company than they were with MattelNot entirely true. Before selling to Mattel, Mega was hit by a couple of costly lawsuits (one brought by the founders of RoseArt, one brought by Lego), and they were fined by the CPSC after a number of children went to the ER due to swallowing magnets in their Magnetix toys (even leading to one child's death).The fine, the cost of the recall and the subsequent civil litigation would have sunk Mega if Mattel hadn't acquired them.
