At Stuffed Animal House, our commitment to providing safe and ethically produced plush toys is unwavering.

For many years we have been testing and producing toys for both European (EN-71)

and North American (ASTM) toy safety standards.  More recently, we are have been

testing our products for Canadian (HPA) toy safety standards, as well.  

Two of the primary changes in these new guidelines, are:

 

1)      Setting a diminishing tolerance for lead. (Starting at 600 ppm)

 

2)      Testing for phthalates.

 

As part of our on-going quality assurance program, we have (for many years) tested

for Lead, and will continue to test for:

 

 

ASTM F963-07 - Standard Consumer Safety Specification of Toy Safety
