KKR, profiled in the best selling book Barbarians at the Gate, make their money by buying companies with borrowed money and then selling them a few years later for a quick profit -- in some cases, a profit achieved through dramatic cost cutting or downsizing. Last week, the coalition of concerned parents and legislators released a report which detailed safety lapses and multiple recalls associated with Toys "R" Us, Dollar General, and other companies owned in whole or in part by KKR. Hundreds of thousands of products sold by these companies were recalled this summer because of dangerous lead levels. Despite the recalls, another toxic toy was found on Toys "R" Us shelves just this month. The Center for Environmental Health reported Oct. 11 that test results for a Marvel Curious George doll bought recently at Toys "R" Us showed more than 10 times the legal lead-paint limit.
