Afrique Blossom Elephant Soft Toy – 11″

These are just some of the reasons a Mary Meyer toy is safe, no matter which toy you choose.

Our 5-Step Approach to Safety

1. Design

• Exceeding ASTM standards is the guiding principle of our experienced designers.
• Safety begins at the drawing board.
• From the way items are sewn to the fabrics and components selected, our designers make thoughtful decisions to help keep our toys among the safest in the industry.

2. Testing

• All Mary Meyer toys are fully tested for fabric performance and construction quality.
• Our toys are tested to meet, and often exceed, U.S. safety standards.
• If a toy does not pass testing, it is either removed before production or redesigned until it meets all safety requirements.

3. Production

• Built-in production processes are designed to maximize safety.
• All toys pass through metal detectors to ensure no metal fragments are inside.
• All plastic eyes are sonic-welded in place to help ensure they remain firmly attached to the surrounding fabric.
• All beans are sewn into inner bean bags so that if a seam breaks during the life of the toy, the beans remain safely contained.

4. Inspection

• Ongoing inspections during and after production are an essential part of our safety program.
• Toys are reviewed not only for safety, but also for quality control, design consistency, correct labeling, and package integrity.

5. Compliance Certification

• Mary Meyer provides PDFs of each toy’s CPSC Compliance Certificate to the public, as required by law.
• Mary Meyer does not use paint on any of its products.
• Our testing includes flammability, small parts, choking hazards, torque, tension, and more.
• Our toys comply with the elimination of six phthalates in children’s products, effective February 10, 2009.
• Mary Meyer certifies that the products sold are in compliance with all current standards.

Our Commitment to Safety

• We are committed to meeting or exceeding all government requirements because safety has been a top priority for over 80 years.
• As a third-generation family business, our toys must be as safe for our children and grandchildren as they are for yours.
• If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Safety for Infants

• Mary Meyer requires that all products be completely safety tested by independent testing facilities.
• Our products meet or exceed all applicable safety standards established by regulatory bodies in the United States.
• This includes physical and mechanical standards, as well as legislation regarding chemicals such as BPA, lead, and phthalates.
• All parties involved in the manufacture of Mary Meyer Corporation products are required to follow these guidelines.
• All testing is conducted by registered independent testing facilities.
