Mother unhappy with lure of Happy Meal toys
Monet Parham is spearheading the suit backed by the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), aimed at stopping the fast-food giant’s use of toys in marketing aimed directly at small children.
The CSPI says such marketing illegally exploits children. Parham says the main reason her six-year- old daughter, Maya, asks to go to McDonald’s is to get toys based on Barbie, i-Carly, Shrek, or Strawberry Shortcake.
