If you use an evil company to sell your products, does that make your products evil?

New faith-based toys are hitting the shelves in U.S. Wal-Mart stores shortly.

UPDATES:
I contacted the manufacturing company, One2belive, to ask about where the toys are manufactured and what materials are used. The response was only that the toys are made in China.

So let’s say it’s made of plastic, because it looks like that in the photos. The toys are bad for the environment because of the materials they are made from; they are bad for society because of the retailer they are selling through, and they are taking jobs from their own country because of where they are manufacturing.

I’m not saying they are worse than other manufacturers in this respect, it just seems to me that if a product claims to be Christian (and Christianity – obviously – claims to be good), then it should be manufactured and distributed in such a way that is good to society and the environment… Or at least minimally bad.
