The model number listed in the report indicates that this is the 9170 Melissa & Doug® K’s Kids® Stacking Blocks. The Stacking Blocks toy, like all our toys, undergoes scrutiny at all steps in our product programs including production, testing and inspections. We have been committed to the quality of our products since we began the Melissa & Doug business. We have put steps and assessments into our process to ensure we check each phase of production and use the best testing methods available. We checked our records for the past five years and have not had reports of an incident like this and have shipped approximately 40,000 units. We ended production on this item in 2019 as we changed our product mix. Our commitment to quality includes using technical recommendations and guidance from the CPSC and globally recognized Standards’ bodies for how to conduct testing, controls and product assessments. We meet or exceed industry practices and regulatory requirements in the assessments of our products. This is further validated with CPSC recognized third party laboratories who test our products to ensure their compliance with ASTM F963, CCPSA, EN71, and ISO 8124 – toy standards referred to and or mandated by most countries throughout the world. This toy has consistently met all testing requirements and standards applied by the certified laboratories. We are also sending the global testing report from Intertek Laboratories report number SZHH01321138 which shows our compliance to safety and regulatory standards and requirements for appropriate age grading.
