All of these Children's dishes are made of the safest, highest quality personalized melamine products. As valued customers, you should know that our custom dishes comply with all ASTM standards set down by the ANSI (American National Standards Institute) and as required by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), including, but not limited to, testing for flammability, heavy metals (including lead paint), and more. In addition to the required product testing, our manufacturer is instituting a secondary inspection operation, where our products will be randomly selected from the production lines and tested independently for verification of compliance to the required safety tests. This secondary testing will be outside the review or influence of the manufacturers, and is being done to assure that test results are unbiased and reliable. This will serve to create a fail-safe in the already stringent testing process. All testing is done by certified, well recognized laboratories. Testing certificates for individual products are available upon request. Providing safe products is the priority of the toy/craft industry and our manufacturer is committed to continuous improvements in design, testing, and inspections to ensure the highest quality.
