Important Advisory: We are now requiring companies to provide us with documentation that their products have been tested by an independent lab for phthalates and lead. We are requiring products submtted going forward to: (1) Follow the guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatrics recommendation that products contain no more than trace amounts of lead (as defined by the AAP as 40 parts per million); and (2) contain no phthalates. However, as we are not a lab, we will not be independently verifying those results. Also, with the exception of the 2008 Platinum Toy Awards, toys submitted for review prior to January 2008 were not tested for lead.. Safety Recalls: Given the absence of more stringent federal legislation, we encourage consumers to keep up to date on safety recalls. Sign up for CPSC safety email alerts. Click here.

Learning
Through Play: During the early school years, as children begin
their formal education, play continues to be an important path to
learning. Now more complex games, puzzles, and toys offer kids satisfying
ways to practice and reinforce the new skills they are acquiring
in the classroom.
