Play safe with BRIO toys
Since the recent recalls that have occurred on the toy market, due to lead in paint, BRIO would like to point out that all BRIO products, including the wooden railways systems and toys, are very safe to play with. BRIO uses a lacquer paint, free of all toxic materials, including lead. This lacquer paint has been thoroughly tested for toxins in independent laboratories at ITS and SGS.
After a competitors first product recall a few months ago, BRIO decided to triple check on the procedures that are in place, to make sure that everything is performed according to the already set standards. Even further testing was carried out, on all the paint used, for all our products and sent for analysis. None of the tests showed any abnormalities.
Safety is always one of our main priorities.
Creating products that are safe enough for young children involves extensive research and testing.All BRIO products conform to heavy metal (toxicology) testing as under mandate by the ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) for US and Canada. They meet all industry standards within EN part 3.
Paint:
Every single part of a product that BRIO makes, are specifically tested in a spectrometer for spectroscopic analysis. This is to identify all the chemicals and content of the materials used.
