Guidecraft prides itself on forty years of manufacturing quality products that put children and safety first. To fulfill our mission, we design and test our products to meet or exceed mandatory safety standards set forth by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. We recognize that certain product components, such as paint and magnets have come under increased scrutiny. As such, we batch-test our paints prior to production for the presence of heavy metals, and have increased both our overseas and domestic testing protocals and quality assurance systems to provide you with safe, durable, and lasting products that will bring years of enjoyment. From day one, we’ve signed our names, Melissa & Doug, to every product we make. We take that signature seriously --- it’s our commitment to you that you can trust the products you bring into your home. As parents, every time we make a product for you, it also has to pass the test of coming home with us, where we enjoy playing with these same toys with all six of our children. No matter how carefully we design our products, we believe there’s no substitute for TESTING, TESTING, and MORE TESTING. The key to assuring the safety of our products is not simply insisting our factories follow our instructions, but to go one step further and AUDIT, INSPECT, AND TEST, not only once, but at various phases of the production process. This is something we’ve always done. Additionally, we specifically test our paints and coatings very frequently, to be sure our toys meet or exceed government recommendations limiting heavy metals and lead in children’s items. We have cabinets full of thousands of passing test reports, and these passing results have been verified by 3rd party independently accredited testing laboratories, considered by many to be the best scientific laboratories in the world. Please continue to enjoy our toys with confidence, knowing that each and every time we design and craft a toy, we’re not only making them for you, but for our own kids too. At KidKraft, safety and quality are our top priorities. Though the children's products industry is currently undergoing some pivotal changes, KidKraft’s products remain compliant with all new laws and policies. One change to the industry this year is the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA), a new U.S. safety guideline for children's products. This guideline was signed into law in August of 2008 and details new regulations for lead and phthalate content, product labeling, advertising and other important aspects of this industry. Some dates and testing protocols are yet to be finalized, but KidKraft is closely monitoring all developments and has already taken actions to guarantee we meet all new safety requirements. Also new this year is the California Air Resources Board (CARB) requirement that sets limits on formaldehyde emissions from composite wood products being sold into California. Our suppliers have been notified about these limits in detail, and they are working to make the requisite changes in their materials and processes. The CARB limitations are rolling out in several phases over the next four years, and KidKraft’s products will fully comply each step of the way. KidKraft has employed independent, certified labs for many years to test our products and see that they meet all applicable U.S. regulatory safety standards. Our testing program ensures that the products meet or exceed all requirements, including mechanical hazards, lead and other heavy metals, and flammability. You have my commitment that KidKraft remains vigilant in ongoing testing and auditing to deliver products you have come to trust. Thank you for your continued support. Sincerely,
