As much as possible, I try to buy eco-friendly, non-toxic toys for my DD. I've been thinking of buying Mega Bloks for her and found this old article about Mega Bloks containing lead.
Does anyone know if Mega Bloks is lead-free, BPA-free, phthalate-free?

I wasn't aware that toy companies tested for BPA or phthalates. I think the only toys you would find info like that would be from companies who consider themselves 'green'. I doubt Mega Bloks falls in that category.Last edited by swissair81; 07-08-2010 at 10:28 PM.

The green toys blocks are a good similar option that are safe.

What about Lego Duplos or Quatros?
"Someday, I am going to go to bed without toys on the floor and sippys in my sink. Things will stay where I put them and I can have nice, fragile items on display. But when I do, I will look around with a wistfullness in my heart and miss the days where vibrant imaginations ran wild and there was evidence of life happening around me all the time!"

Lego duplo/quatro blocks are european made, so maybe they are more eco friendly. Still, if they did go to the trouble of making their blocks 'green', don't you think it would say it somewhere on their site?
