Ethical Profile

Mixed.

JAKKS Pacific's ethical profile is mixed. In December 2022, the company suffered a ransomware attack by Hive and BlackCat groups, allegedly exposing personal data like names and banking information. While privacy policies now comply with COPPA, GDPR, and CCPA/CPRA, worker respect remains a concern. AFL-CIO reports a 100:1 CEO-to-median-employee pay ratio, and Glassdoor reviews rate compensation at 2.9/5. Though JAKKS Pacific's Vendor Code of Conduct prohibits slavery and human trafficking, critics note a lack of specific data on supply chain transparency or fair trade certifications, raising questions about potential labor risks in its global manufacturing.
