Where do you buy well-made and most importanly safely sourced toys for your children (especially small children who may bite on them)?
We are having a heck of a time trying to find stuff not made in China, primarily concerned with toxic plastic/rubber coatings and elevated amount of lead reported in some of these imports.
- noja 7y agoiirc toys aimed at young children (under 3) have to be made from food-safe plastic in Europe (because they put them in their mouths). There is a logo of some sort for it.
- colechristensen 7y agoAnd absolutely no reason to believe something purchased on Amazon didn't just slap on the logo. NYT just published an article about counterfeit books. Fake branded chargers have been an issue as well. Why not toxic toys from China?
- bradknowles 7y agoYou mean, the ones made with Melamine and given a nice white coating of lead paint?
- silversconfused 7y agoAny interest in buying toys from a home operation? I've been playing with making non-toxic housewares from fast growing alder trees. I would love to pivot into making toy cars and baby rattles for a living. :)
- ip26 7y agoThere is a market for wood toys out there. It may not be large, but it exists, and we will pay (some) extra for it.
- nlh 7y agoCheck these folks out - I know someone who works there and they’re super popular (and well made): https://www.greentoys.com/ https://www.greentoys.com/
