The world federation of consumer organisations, Consumers International (CI) on October 29, announced the winners of the International Bad Product Awards, to be presented at CI's World Congress which held in Sydney.

The awards aim to highlight failings of corporate responsibility and the abuse of consumer trust by internationally recognised brands. The announcement comes as 400 delegates from national consumer organisations and Governments, convene in Sydney to attend CI's World Congress.

Among the four, Mattle, the biggest toy manufacturing company, was named for stonewalling US congressional investigations and avoiding overall responsibility for the global recall of 21 million pieces of toys in five weeks because of high formaldehyde content and design defects.
