Had enough of chinese junk?

Selecta is a German company. They design and make their toys in Germany, using non-toxic products. They have very high standards. Of course, Selecta toys are more expensive. But you pay for quality. You have a choice to make: one great quality, safe and non toxic toy, or two toys made out of god knows what in China by big company such as Mattel.

 

I have made the choice for my little boy. He has less, but I know he can put everything he has in his mouth without concern for his health. 

High quality, ecological toys. 

Selecta is committed to sustainable forest management.
They use non-toxic dyes, paints and laquers. They also put Beewax finish on all their toddler's toys.

All their toys are in compliance with European and US standards (EN71, ASTM)

LATEST TOY RECALL 

Learning Pots & Pans%u2122 Toys

August 7, 2008

Fisher-Price Recalls Learning Pots and Pans%u2122 Toys Due to Choking Hazard

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with the firm named below, today announced a voluntary recall of the following consumer product. Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed.

Name of Product: Learning Pots & Pans%u2122 Toys

Units: About 15,000

Importer: Fisher-Price, of East Aurora, NY

Hazard: Missing screws in the blue toy pan can cause the clear plastic cover to come loose and release small balls, presenting a choking hazard to young children.

Incidents/Injuries: Fisher-Price has received five reports of the plastic covers detaching and releasing the small balls. No injuries have been reported.

Description: This recall involves Learning Pots and Pans%u2122 toy sets with stackable pots and pans, a lid and shape-sorting blocks. The toys have light and sound features that operate on three AA batteries. Model number G6685 is located on the bottom of the blue pan.

Sold at: Discount department and toy stores nationwide from October 2007 to August 2008 for about $20.

Manufactured in: China

Remedy: Consumers should immediately take these recalled toys away from children and examine the bottom of the blue pan. The pan should contain six screws. If all six screws are installed, no further action is necessary. If any screws are missing, the consumer should contact Fisher-Price to arrange for the return of the blue pan for a replacement.

Consumer Contact: For additional information, contact Fisher-Price at (888) 521-0820 anytime, or visit the firm's Web site at www.service.mattel.com

List of toy hazards recall 

A few links you can check to see what toys have been recalled recently. Of course it is very difficult to be up to date. Some toys recalled in 2007 were on the market for years....Some are poisonous, some are so cheaply done that they can cause injusries by breaking, some are just plain dangerous.

Buying "big names" such has Mattel and fisher price do not mean you are buying safe toys anymore.

Shopper beware!

I was sorry to hear that this week Selecta will no longer be selling their toys to the US market. This is because the cost of proving compliance with the new rules would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars (not complying...the cost of proving compliance). The law could easily have been written to raise toys to a higher standard without the draconian compliance requirements that are being in place and which will cause the disappearance of many more natural toys that we LOVE! Find out more at www.squidoo.com/fixcpsia. Please get informed & involved to help get changes that can keep the toys safe AND still having a toy (and children's products market).
