Mattel issued another recall today , this time for its Fisher Price line. And while the din of toy recalls may be enough to obfuscate the larger problem at this point, it might not be long before American brands have a wider problem on their hands.

After all, American companies don't just buy raw materials for toys in China. We're talking people food, pet food, car parts and much more.

Now it's important to point out that Mattel has apologized to China for blaming the foreign parts for the larger problems at its company. But with the U.S. using fewer and fewer domestic raw materials. China's brand crisis may be an American crisis before long.
