Question

237 West Palmdale Boulevard  Fresno, California 93706 AmToy Corporation Suite 15 TransAm Building San Francisco, California 94115 November 20, 2008 Dear Sirs,     As a concerned parent, I am writing to protest your recent advertisement for Electro—Robo seen in local media in California. Specifically, I am referring to newspaper and magazine ads （attached to this letter）published the week of November 15.     Children respond to your type of advertising in an immature way; that is, they are unable to understand how expensive some toys are for middle-class parents. Further, you product is violent in nature. Youth advertisement gives children the impression that it’s fine to have “two guns and laser eyes.” You also suggest that children need your toy to protect them “when you go outside.” This is not a healthy attitude for children to have.     I hope you will stop advertising your product in such a way that may harm our children.                                        Sincerely yours,                                     （Mrs.）Alma Hernandez President, Parents for Non-violent Toys  Enc.
