Most of us in our networking group are moms, and we know how difficult it is to know if the toys we are buying for our children are safe and free of lead.I personally bought two packages of toys that were a well-respected name brand. They were small toys, and I planned to use them on my sons' birthday cakes. Imagine my shock to find out there was lead in the paint on those toys!
Luckily I heard about the recall before I used them on my children's birthday cakes, but it was a very sobering thought.
Discovery Toys promises that all of our products meet or exceed all standards set by the US and Canadian governments regarding safety. These are the most extensive, effective, and widely emulated standards in the world – regardless of where the products are manufactured*. All products are tested for flammability, hazardous materials and toxic elements - including lead, by an independent HOKLAS certified laboratory prior to shipment from domestic and foreign manufacturers. In an ongoing effort to ensure the quality and safety of our products, we regularly review the labor practices, raw materials and manufacturing processes used by our vendors.
*This is an important point. Just because a toy says "Made In USA," it's not a guarantee that it is safe!
