GE's subsidiary NBC Universal produces children’s toys that are sold at its Universal Studios theme parks.  To date, none of its products have been the subject of recalls. 

In early 2008, As You Sow and five social investment colleagues met with senior sourcing executives of GE – owner of NBC and Universal films (NBCU). At these meetings, GE provided an overview to shareholders of its supplier auditing program with specific focus on product safety, supply chain compliance, and worker environmental health and safety protection policies. The company provided data on suppliers audited in manufacturing operations in 40 countries, problems found, and corrective actions taken. GE did several thousand audits of suppliers between 2002 and 2007 and says it works with suppliers to resolve a wide range of violations.

It provided more individualized results for consumer goods produced by its NBCU licensing unit which includes children’s toys sold at its Universal Studios theme parks. In recognition of the lead toy recalls last summer, it is increasing its testing protocols, especially for products marketed to children.
