Are these toys safe?

Are the bars attached permamently? or screwed in? I don't mind taking one apart and stripping the paint off the blocks and redying them.

 

The ones we saw were in boxes, so didnt have a chance to see how it was all put together.

I was thinkign of trying to make one or something similar. I just can't seem to find Stainless Steel wire that isn't a weave like speaker wire. I don't want to risk that getting freyed... I used to work with speaker wire a lot, god knows how many times I've stuck myself with the pointy bits :blink:.

 

I've checked Lowes and Home Depot here in Toronto, and I just can't seem to find any.

Melissa and Doug have one, though it looks tiny.

 

It seems the only place me and my wife can find these toys are at Masterminds here in Toronto. I would figure that since they're pretty much an upscale toy store that they'd have better quality control. Pity thing is we don't have Melissa and Doug's here in Canada, and they don't ship up here either.

 

This is what M&D have ... tiny huh?

I found a toy by this company at a yard sale and looked them up on the web before deciding to add it to Dorian's toy chest. I read their mission statement and they seem very focused on saftey. Plus they're a Canadian company! Here's their web site. www.educo.ca

Now, if I could only convince Dorian it's not out to do him harm we'd be in good shape:P

I wrote an email to the toy store company that I saw them in, they replied with the following:

Also, the bead frames that you are looking at are made from the following company, here is a link that discusses this information further.
