Chinese Toy Recall

BEIJING — The head of a Chinese manufacturer whose lead-tainted Sesame Street toys were the center of a massive U.S. recall has killed himself, a state-run newspaper said Monday.

Cheung Shu-hung, who co-owned Lee Der Industrial Co., committed suicide at a warehouse over the weekend, apparently by hanging himself, the Southern Metropolis Daily reported.

This makes me so very sad.

Sir, the world didn't want you to pay for this mistake with your life. No one intentionally does things like buy from someone who uses lead in their paints. Things like that are accidents, and it wasn't your fault.

One of my parents' friends did the same thing once. He was at fault for something and felt that he had no other way out. He then killed himself, leaving his wife and many others wondering why he couldn't have come to them and just told them he was drowning. It's just a shame there are no more chances for either one of them.
