PRODUCT SAFETY
 |
Like you, we are concerned about the safety of every product we sell. As a response to the 2007 toy recalls, the US Government passed new legislation regarding safety for products intended for children ages 12 and under. Team Thinkbutton is aware of the new requirements and has contacted manufacturers and secured the proper paperwork to ensure the latest safety measures have been applied to all the products we sell. |
Due to the recalls of 2007, we understand many consumers' concern regarding children's products manufactured in China. We do sell products manufactured in China, as well as, many other countries from around the world. Because we are an American company, we gladly support and celebrate any products manufactured in the USA. However, our sales are global and part of our company philosophy is celebrating world culture and diversity. So, it does not make sense for us to boycott one of the largest and most populated countries in the world. In order for Thinkbutton to offer truly unique, innovative, and inspiring products we have to select from high-quality manufacturers across the globe. Otherwise, we have to limit our product offering, which, in turn, limits your selection.
We have confidence in the quality, safety, and educational value of all the products we offer at Thinkbutton. For additional information about a manufacturer for any of the products we sell please do not hesitate to call us at 866.217.8972 or email us at mail@thinkbutton.com. We will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
