At that point, Mattel permanently suspended being a direct water supplier to employees. The company brought in bottled water for drinking, as well as portable sinks and portable toilets. The plant has been converted to the public water supply, with the installed sinks and toilets once again functioning.
All drinking water is provided by bottled water, which is widely available throughout the plant.
Also, signage throughout the plant clearly states that only the bottled water should be consumed. The company also made phone calls to a number of other local and city officials. Mattel has held more than 10 meetings with current employees on the water issue. Some of the meetings have lasted nearly two hours and have included medical and toxicology experts, so that all questions could be raised and addressed. These meetings will continue to be scheduled as often as needed.
