Hospital

I wondered if anybody knew or thought it relevant that Hasbro founded a children's hospital here in RI...it's truly wonderful and called the Hasbro Children's Hospital. I don't actually know to what extent it was funded by the hasbro company, but assume it must have been substantial to have provided the name.

Manufacture

This article is lacking pertinent information regarding the manufacture of Hasbro products. I added a short text on outsourcing and production facilities, which needs to be elaborated. Any suggestions?Demokratiatora (talk) 08:13, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Image

Why exactly is a photo of bootleg toys supposed to be representative of Hasbro?--87.164.97.117 (talk) 11:08, 6 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you read the text of the article, the section is about Hasbro legal action against these bootleg toys. Mathewignash (talk) 12:38, 9 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I read the two lines about the knockoffs, so I can see why its there. But two things: 1) There is no picture in this article that is of anything Hasbro makes or has made. Odd. 2) A comparison picture of the Knockoff Jumpsters next to one of the tranformers it was said to have counterfitted would be a better reference.

I just find it really odd that on the page for a toy company, there are no pictures of toys or games made by said company. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.99.65.63 (talk) 21:37, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Also, no one's bothered to go out to Pawtucket to photograph the headquarters. Of course, that's because Pawtucket is one of the most remote, economically depressed, crime-ridden, dysfunctional corners of the Northeast. I was in Boston in June 2009 (see my HQ photos for Legal Sea Foods and Au Bon Pain) but couldn't find the energy or time to drag myself all the way out to that miserable dump of a state called Rhode Island. (I visited Providence in the 90s while doing college tours and once was enough.) --Coolcaesar (talk) 06:12, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Siccing lawyers on fans

It appears that Hasbro has been siccing their lawyers on NERF fans. See here for more info. - 114.76.227.0 (talk) 00:16, 25 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hasbro abuse

"Workers at the Yongshen toy factory in China share filthy overcrowded dormitories infested with bed bugs. Twenty-four share each room, sleeping in narrow triple-level metal beds. Twenty-four workers must share a toilet and in the sweltering heat of summer must work drenched in their own sweat. The Yongshen factory produces toys for Hasbro and for RC2 the makers of the popular Bratz dolls."

Is this true? 117.216.25.216 (talk) 13:00, 10 May 2013 (UTC) Look[reply]
