The Melissa and Doug toys that are available are of the best quality.
This is not only the goal of this outstanding toy company but their promise.
The whole reason this company was formed was because of the lack of quality, especially in wooden toys, that were available in the 1980's.
In the beginning, Melissa and Doug did make all the toys themselves with help of a small staff.
This way they could make sure that only quality raw materials were going into the production of their toys.
Their reputation grew so fast and expanded so much that they could no longer meet the demand for their products.
This is when they found suitable manufacturers to produce their toys.
This was a hard and challenging task but suitable manufacturers were found.
Melissa and Doug know that with every toy that is produced, their reputation is on the line.
They promised quality to customers so they demand this from every manufacturer of their products.
Even after rigorous inspections of the manufacturing sites were complete, they were not satisfied.
Not only are the raw material tested by the suppliers, but they are also sent to an independent laboratory for further analysis.
The tests include, but are not limited to, amounts of lead, other heavy metals, and toxic components that might be contained in the material and the paint that is used in the construction of the toys.
The inspections and testing are an ongoing theme with this company.
During the manufacturing process, there are constant inspections to ensure the quality remains at its highest level.
These are why so many parents trust Melissa and Doug toys, not only are they fun to play with but they are safe to play with, guaranteed.
