I've become leery when buying any toys that are metal or painted depending on where they were made and who they were made by. If they were made in Europe I think the chances they are less toxic is higher then made in China.
I can certainly tell you that the whole Mattel thing last year messed with us, we have to do higher levels of testing and all our European partners have to work under much tighter restrictions of what paperwork they provide to customs for our games.
I'm not saying it's bad to make sure the games are safe but these issues created a lot more hoops to jump through, which is frustrating if you're a company that was already testing your products.
