I've been doing a LOT of research finding toys NOT made in China. I've been googling, reading news stories, studying packages & calling companies in regards to this "epidemic," of sorts. I know there's a lot of controversy over this. I also know that just because items are made somewhere other than China doesn't necessarily make them safe. HOWEVER, the majority of toy recalls lately have been "Made in China." I feel that if we can make our voices heard on this issue, it will scream to other companies that junk will not be tolerated.
Here is a list of 20 companies/sites that make toys NOT in China. Be aware of labels though, as sometimes country of origin may change. I'm also human & would advise you err on the side of caution. Ask before ordering online or from a catalog. Read the boxes when you're in a store and holding something from your child's wish list. I don't mind if you use this list elsewhere, but please link back to me, or give credit where credit is due. I WANT this list to circulate. The more people that are aware of this info, means more people that will be heard!!!
