I’m a big fan of HABA products – the kids have had several HABA items over the years and they’ve been sturdy, safe and most importantly well-loved toys. HABA recently had items appear on a watch dog list and now the company is speaking out about the safety of their products.
Here is an excerpt from their response:

All three toys passed and exceeded all U.S. and European toy safety standards. HABA has long been a pioneer in using eco-friendly practices at our German facilities, and made the change to child-safe, lead-free and water-based stains long before lead paint became danger that we now know that it is.
