Following the discovery of dangerous levels of lead and other toxic chemicals in toys imported from China, Congress passed the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSI). The new law requires manufacturers to certify each toy offered for sale as being within the permissable limits of 600 parts per million of lead, 0.1% of certain phthalates (a chemical used in plastics), and in compliance with the new, mandatory standards for choking hazards and other risks. Complete details of the requirements can be found on the Consumer Product Safety Comission website:http://www.cpsc.gov. I am proud to certify that all the toys made in my Wolfeboro, NH shop meet or exceed these legal requirements. (signed) Preston T. Shea |

Local pick-up saves on shipping |
What with shipping costs being so high, my costs to send your toys to you is sometimes almost as much as the cost of the toy itself. Some people in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire have asked to pick up their purchases here in Wolfeboro in order to save shipping. I'm happy to arrange for this, please email me. |
