Toy maker Mattel will pay $12 million to 39 states to settle an investigation over Chinese-made lead-tainted toys shipped to the U.S. in 2007, state officials said Monday. As part of the agreement, Mattel also agreed to lower the acceptable level of lead in toys shipped to the states to 90 parts per million -- down from the current federal standard of 600 parts per million. Mattel and its Fisher Price unit recalled more than 21 million Chinese-made toys last year.
