Comments on Elizabeth P.'s review of Wood Toys
Wood Toys
Description: Handcrafted wooden toys made from non-toxic dyes.
Melissa & Dubious
Something to think about with Melissa and Doug is that they are a rather large corporation. Their name fools a lot of people into thinking they are a small mom and pop deal, but that's not the case. Yes, they have some very nice toys, but over all their quality is not always the greatest. All their toys are manufactured in China, which is not necessarily a problem, but I certainly would not count Melissa and Doug as one of the many companies who take great pains to ensure their products are safe. They changed the company name a few years ago from Lights, Camera, Interaction to M&D which gives it a friendlier feel, but they have had problems with quality control and other issues in the past. I suppose the point i want to make here is that it's unwise to assume that everything they make is safe. I'd much rather buy from a company like the German toy manufacturer Haba. They have a wide range of products, and their wood toys are made primarily, if not exclusively, in Europe. Selecta spielzeug is another good, but usually more pricey, option.
