Play it safe
We are committed to providing products that live up to the strictest global requirements – it’s something we never compromise. Throughout the LEGO Group’s history, consumers have trusted us to provide safe, high-quality products that meet or surpass the most rigorous international safety regulations and standards for toys.

Our products meet, and often exceed, toy safety requirements globally, including the EU Toy Safety Directive and the US Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act. Any new material we use is only approved after a rigorous safety assessment based on the highest standards. We apply a very strict mechanical safety approval process for every new element, simulating things like children biting, dropping, and stepping on LEGO elements to ensure they don’t break. We also conduct strict chemical safety assessments.
