Hape has manufacturing facilities around the world, but the majority of Hape toys are proudly produced at our own factory in Ningbo, China. Because we own and operate the factory it provides us complete control over all aspects of the manufacturing process from sourcing renewable resources to finished product inspection.

All Hape toys are inspected by an independent testing facility and exceed ASTM (American Society for Testing Materials) standards for safety. 

Hape uses only water-based nontoxic paints and lacquers in the production of our toys, they do not contain any heavy metals (lead) or other harmful chemicals. None of the products manufactured by Hape contain any of the chemicals listed in Proposition 65.

Formaldehyde is not added to any of the glues used in the manufacturing process and we meet or exceed the requirements of California Phase 2 & EPA TSCA Title VI compliance for formaldehyde.

Hape Products do not contain BPA or Phthalates.

Clean with a soft damp cloth – clean regularly by wiping down with damp cloth and allowing to air dry thoroughly

Do not immerse in water – soaking wooden toys in water may cause them to swell or deform

Do not apply Chemicals – do not use ethanol, bleach or other harsh chemicals when cleaning as it may lead to color fading or paint to flake or lift

Keep away from humidity – to avoid mould store wooden toys in a dry place, if toy is exposed to high humidity allow to air dry in a well ventilated area

Avoid direct sunlight – Do not expose to prolonged direct sunlight as it may cause the wood to crack
