What type of paint and adhesives are used to make this toy? Are they toxic? Do they have led in it?

As you can see from the website these toys are produced in a very safe and environmentally conscious way http://www.hapetoys.com/home. We have had no issues with ours after two years - it has been remarkably robust, no signs of paint chipping or peeling. Highly recommended.

Not sure- its a high quality sturdy wooden toy BUT the design is flawed- the little cars come off the tracks at various points all the time-no matter what speed- very frustrating for the child- wouldn't recommend it

I don't know. The letters and numbers are not very thick - and they do not have a heavy 'suction' (can't think of a better word!) so I doubt if they have a lot of lead. You could ask Djeco/Wooden Magnet Play Set if they have the answer. Sorry I couldn't be of any more help.

Yes. From the Haba website: Made of beech wood, stained (NOT painted) with a non-toxic, lead free, water based stains.

There isn't any paint on them - they are plastic, and the colors are in them. We have really loved these! We bought a CD with songs to go with them, and it's been a hit!

Yes they do have adhesive, however it is subpar and I do recommend using 3M double sided automotive grade molding adhesive. It is grey with a red backing, comes in 1/4 inch widths, and works very well in conjunction with the adhesive that is already on the LED. Make sure you clean the surface with isopropyl alcohol before you attach.

The yellow squares are plastic and the wires seem to be coated in paint. The other beads and the base are wood. Not sure what kind of paint.

I am not sure what they are made of but they do come out. My girls love playing with them. They are solid but have a soft fuzz coat. You can't move the legs.

It was a while ago that we used this kit... But my recollection is that the paint sticks very well -- even permanent-like, but you can't put liquid in/on them. My daughter painted the inside and the outside, and extended wetness caused the paint to peel off. So, I'd say it's " permanent-like". Just don't put liquids in them. Totally fun project. My daughter loved doing it! But we did end up replacing with an already painted set because she insisted on putting water in the cups. ;)

They appear to be made from pottery clay and painted. We have used them with no ill effects; but I don't know if they are lead free.

Best suggestion - go with Plan Toys, all sustainable, lead free, etc. and made in Thailand of natural wood. Do not trust the other brands.

Our set had the normal new plastic smell, but I definitely would not call it toxic. Maybe your set got left in the sun or something waiting to be shipped. It's a really cool toy that your kids will love so I'd swap it for a new one if I were you.

The pieces are painted wood and the backs are almost completely covered with magnet (the flexible sheets that some people print business cards on to stick on your refrigerator). The pieces are very durable and stick very well. If you have a 2-something that still likes to mouth his/her toys, you might want to contact the manufacturer to see what kind of paint they use. My son enjoys this product a lot. He has learned to systematically follow the design cards to make the (sometimes complex) shapes. He has not yet ventured out on creating his own... maybe soon! best of luck.

I don't know the answer to that. I suggest you research/google 'Melissa and Doug' products...my guess would be that it is lead-free (I believe the whole premise to their brand is about safe products)...but definitely worth researching.
