Recent Toy Recalls

Consumers all over the country are alarmed by the recent rash of toy recalls questioning whether they can be confident any toy produced over seas is safe for their children. There are and will be exceptions, but the vast majority of toys we sell are proven safe. At Brain-Builders, we take this issue very seriously and are doing everything we can to keep our children safe.
Brain-Builders commits to take an active role in delivering information to our customers about product recalls. We are a member of the American Specialty Toy Retailers Association and they are working closely with a local Illinois organization, Kids In Danger and the CPSC, to provide all of their retailers with up to the minute recall information.

"Kids In Danger appreciates the efforts ASTRA members make to provide safe quality toys for their customers. The recent spate of recalls involving lead makes us all worry. Retailers often find themselves in the same boat as consumers -- learning of a recall through the media. Kids In Danger will work with ASTRA to get information to you as soon as possible about recalls and other product safety issues and welcome your role in encouraging manufacturers to do stringent testing for lead and other hazards before products reach your store shelves," says Nancy A. Cowles, Executive Director, Kids In Danger. Kids In Danger is a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting children by improving children's product safety.
