COPENHAGEN, Denmark - Toymaker Lego Group announced it is closing its U.S. plant in Enfield, Connecicut, constructed of the same material as the company's famous building block toy, because it is unsafe, according to company President Oslo Jarvis."The damn thing was never right," Jarvis said. "Sure, the pieces fit together nicely, snapping into place just fine. And, yes, they are colorful and shiny and all that. But when our employees ventured any higher than ground level, the damn floors began to buckle and, eventually, they collapsed, injuring one yellow and green plastic worker."
The Lego Group is looking at the possibility of moving its U.S. plant to the former Lincoln Logs Building or the Tinkertoy Tower, depending on the structural integrity of Lincoln Logs and TinkerToy.
