On May 10 , 1993 , there was a major fire at the Kader Toy Factory , a joint venture , almost 80 % owned by Kader , in Thailand . 188 people were killed , and over 500 were seriously injured . Most of the victims were young female workers from rural families . More people were killed in this industrial accident than in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire ; making it one of the worst industrial disasters in history . Despite this fact , it received little media attention outside of Thailand . This could be due to the factory 's role as a child labor camp or possibly Kader 's connections to other major corporations , such as Disney , Hasbro , and Mattel ( see paragraph above )
