HABA Color Pyramid Clutching Toy (Made in Germany) Each toy is only as safe as its materials! So wood, paints and fabrics are continually checked and improved. Just like our finished toys, our raw materials correspond to all safety standards and laws: Quality-assurance tests have shown that the organic material complies with all US and European safety standards for toys. We use woods from sustainable forestry in Germany in the production of all of our wooden clutching toys. All paints are water-based and solvent-free. For decades, we have been working together with German supply partners to only use first-class stains, varnishes and print colors. Materials for toys that we dont produce in Bad Rodach are checked and monitored in Germany in their unproces-sed form (e.g. paints in liquid form) Submersion tests for testing the resistance of all individual parts with subsequent tensile test. Impact and fall tests Tests for flammability, saliva and sweat-proofness We also use special stencils to check whether small parts can be swallowed by children under three years, and we check the string lengths of pull-along animals etc.
