While we have had country-of-origin labeling on our website for over a week now, we have now also created a list of all our toys that are labeled "Made in U.S.A." or "Made in U.S.A. of US and imported parts". You may view both the American-made toys list and the Information on Labeling and Quality statement that explains our labeling methods on our website.

If an item does not show up on the "Made in U.S.A." list, please refer to the product details page on our website for further information on the origin of its components.

It's not possible to "custom" order our products, but you may choose to selectively remove parts. In the case of the Vanity, "accessories" includes the accessory set and probably the light as well.

I hope consumers in this country through buying behaviors make the push for american corporations to make toys in the usa. This is list is a start. Thank you!

First I want to know is it made in China and if it is and I order it anyway and I do a lead test myself on it and its postive can I get a refund. Since the product should be considered defective can I get shipping included also.

However I disagree with having china inspect the toys during and after production I think the best way to make sure these toys are safe is to have them inspected once they reach the U.S. I dont trust China.

Christmas, and I appreciate your company making it easy to buy great gifts that are made here. It gives me a sense of peace to know that the toys my little boy will play with on Christmas morning are not going to cause him harm...so thank you.

The Tower of Doom is made in China, as it should say in the product description.

As far as returns are concerned, we do not hold our customers responsible for shipping if a product is genuinely defective and needs to be returned.

Regarding the other comments concerning testing, the testing is done by third-party companies. These companies' very business is based on providing reliable testing results, and therefore they do a very complete and reliable job when testing toys.

I hope in the future to see more of your smaller items and accessories also made in the USA. Maybe you could offer the option of ordering an item without China made accessories or parts.

I think the food is the most important part as some kids will put them in their mouths. Please push for the food to be made in the USA. Our children need safe toys to play with. Thank you for having some American made product anyway.

Our 2 year old daughter has the little helpers kitchen and dish set, the Step 2 art desk with the red chair, and the step 2 hunter green desk and we are very happy with all of these products especially our daughter. I can't believe it's so hard to find play food that's made in the USA and not China. She loves her kitchen, but we don't have any playfood right now because it's not made in the USA. Children put that in their mouths and when companies realize the concerns parents have about that and start making the playfood in the USA parents will buy it. I will continue to buy whatever is made in the USA and will keep looking for Step 2 to make american made play food.
