China is the world's leading exporter of toys with 60% of world production, but they have had serious and serious problems with their production, according to the Consumers Union this year more than 20 million toys have been removed due to excessive lead levels and other risks for children.
Now the problem is to supply the toy stores, we know through the news the case of Don Edwards, who does not know if he can supply the demand for wooden toys that are requested for Christmas. At 76 he is dedicated to creating handmade toys from New York.
The company that manufactures airplanes and wooden gliders Guillow has also stated that international sales have increased, according to Vice President Tom Baker, especially from the United States and the United Kingdom. Parents are worried because it is not enough to verify that the toys carry the CE seal to know that they are safe. Many of the toys removed because they are dangerous for children are large-scale toy companies.
Little Tikes has created a section on its website that indicates toys that have been manufactured in the United States without going through the hands of the Chinese factory. It would be great if this information was disseminated internationally and by all the companies that are dedicated to this task. We all want to be sure of what we buy, and those who work their product well will win if they grant us the necessary information.
