Guidelines for toys sold on Amazon U.S

To sell toys for children under 12 years of age on Amazon U.S, the following federal safety standards must be met:

• Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Toy Safety ASTM F963 – 17
• The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA)

However, third-party toy testing is now mandatory in the U.S. for children under 12. Still, this does not automatically mean all toys sold meet this standard and are safe.

Why Eco-friendly toys?

Eco-friendly toys are better for the environment and better for babies. Eco-toys are initially non-toxic and put less strain on the environment. As babies and young children tend to put everything in their mouths, this is a safe toy choice you will be grateful for every time you see your child play.

Still, when you purchase toys online and don’t know the brand or seller, thorough research is advisable to determine whether the (eco) product is genuine and eco-friendly.

Read the review and research the brand or seller’s reputation; when a product is cheap, do double research to ensure no shortcuts are made.

Today, we share our review of these 5 ‘eco-friendly’ Amazon baby toys with you, and you will see that the most popular toys do not always come about best.
