Hello Awesome People of our Amazing 🌎 … 

I’m Joe and I had the fortunate opportunity to work for The LEGO®️ Group in 2023, within their consumer services division located in Enfield, Connecticut - following a very challenging time in my life.

🟢 Finding joy at LEGO helped me “reconnect” my life in ways I didn’t believe were possible again, offering me a new purpose and a renewed happiness. Although my time was short, I will forever cherish the opportunity then as I now continue to share my passion for LEGO with other fans - all the while “rebuilding” my own life…  “brick-by-brick”.

🟠 Recently, I've visited a LEGO brand retail store and noticed that the size, location, and quantity of new warning labels on LEGO products with electronic devices - were added. And in a very BIG way! 

                     🚧 🚧 🛑 🚧 🚧

While these labels are very important for consumer product safety awareness, it’s their current size which detracts from the overall appearance and quality of our highly adored and collectible toys. The LEGO set boxes themselves are just as desired by fans as the bricks inside that we enjoy building time and time again!

Here’s a look at the LEGO sets with and without the labels.

SAFETY is the TOY INDUSTRY’s No. 1 priority.

     🧸   🟨   🛼  🏓   🎮  🎸 🧩  🚀

From initial toy concept to final product for sale at retail, safety is built into every toy during every step of the production process. 

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission consistently ranks toys among the safest of 15 consumer product categories found in the home.

🇺🇸 U.S. toymakers follow a mandatory set of safety rules and regulations under ASTM F963 – Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Toy Safety, created under ASTM International.

Since 1986, it’s been considered the gold standard in toy safety and is emulated around the 🌎

The Toy Association leads the multi-stakeholder committee that continually reviews the standard to ensure that it keeps pace with child development research, medical and toy-related incident data, risk assessment techniques, science, and manufacturing innovations. The standard was last revised in 2022.
