In 1960, Barbie has come under fire and been criticized for her form that displays "dream body shape of women", thus encouraging the women of the time to establish their body like Barbie. As a result, people with anorexia in the past had risen sharply. From this came the expression "Barbie Syndrome", which is an expression of the condition of women who want to have the body "as perfect" Barbie.
In 1985, Mattel released a Barbie product called "Heart Family Midge", ie the doll stomach can be opened. Barbie in the stomach, we can see the fetus (baby ready to be born) in perfect shape. The purpose of the doll's release is to explain the process of having a baby and an educational tool for children. However, products made in the form of a pretty "awful", making parents and children stifling protest at Mattel. Not long after that, the product was finally withdrawn from circulation.
In 1992, Mattel released a collection called Teen Talk Barbie Teen Barbie, in which each doll can speak a few sentences (and each doll pronounce different words). Of the many dolls were released, Barbie saying "Math class is tough!" Has come under fire from the American Association of University Women, because they encourage young women to antagonize Math. In October 1992, Mattel officially withdraw all Barbie dolls pronounce the sentence.
