Our Commitment to Safety

Dear Customer,
     From its inception in 1987, FGInc has manufactured games and puzzles using recycled materials, vegetable-based inks, and natural glues and lacquers. Our products pass vigorous safety tests regulated by independent certified testing laboratories on a regular basis to maintain a high safety standard in accordance with the laws of the United States of America, Canada, and the European community*.

     In August 2008, the CPSIA (Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (HR4040)) went into affect stipulating changes to the consumer product safety laws. As of February 10, 2009, the total lead content in children’s (12 years of age or younger) products may not be greater than 600 ppm (parts per million). On August 14, 2009, the total lead content in children’s products must be lowered to no greater than 300 ppm. Paint containing lead must be reduced to 90 ppm. at present all FGInc products contain a total lead content of less than 25 ppm which by far exceeds all CPSIA requirements. Furthermore, the CPSIA has mandated that COC’s (Certificates of Conformity, or Compliance) must be made available for all products manufactured on, and after, November 12th, 2008.

     In addition, please note that though FGInc does not manufacture products intended for children under 6 years of age, many of our products are played in households with youngsters about, therefore every applicable product bears a warning label reminding consumers of the potential danger if small pieces or magnets are ingested. These chocking hazards are affixed to the packaging as a precautionary measure but are not a requirement of the CPSIA.

      To put your mind at ease, we encourage you to visit www.familygamesamerica.com to download our Certificates of Compliance and to peruse our Product Safety checklist not only for the safety of the children, but for the concern and welfare of family pets and the environment.
