Special Thanks

Special Thanks HealthyToys.org would like to extend a special thanks to Tree Town Toys, based in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Tree Town Toys invited the Ecology Center into their store and gave complete access to their large inventory for testing. Products with elevated lead levels were immediately removed from the inventory. Tree Town Toys continues to work with the Ecology Center supporting their mission to provide the safest possible toys to all of our kids. Please visit their store online at http://www.treetowntoys.com/ or at http://brainstationtoys.com/.
