The film peels off rather quickly....that seems really unsafe for kids especially if they put things in their mouth! Is it made in China?

The film on ours did not peel off but we stopped using it once our baby could crawl and started sticking the tiles into get mouth. Our kid also liked scratching them but never managed to peel any paint off them. We ended up getting a larger one piece mat. To answer your question, yes it is made in China. Being Chinese myself I should point out that the quality of goods are quite high and have to meet not only US regulation but European as well (imported to US from England). ASTM and EN71.

I have noticed one or two squares have what looks like "paint" scratched off in the animals face. seems odd since it's not like anyone walks on it. my daughter used it first with no issues but my son wants to eat the tiles so i put them away. not because of danger per se just because it was annoying to reassemble so often.

I really don't know where it was made. It does peel but never felt unsafe dor my kid.

You guessed it "Made in China" (like everything else)..something really must be done about this. It is still working great. However I must qualify this by say. I live in Germany right now. I come back for the holidays, Christmas and again in April for 3 weeks each time, so it gets limited use. I only use distilled water to keep the inside cleaner. I would buy another one if it ever broke.

No this thing is made in China. And I would strongly suggest buying a different brand. The trays melt after only about 3 uses. I was drying meat for jerky when I noticed that the trays no longer fit together right due to melting.

Sorry I don't recall if it's made in China or USA. But I remember that they started using child safe paint. Its a good toy, we need to assemble it.

I wasn't sure either, so I checked my son's Etch A Sketch that he received for his birthday in July 2013. It is clearly marked, "Made in China." I hate to be the bearer of bad news...

I have received an email answer from the company (NorPro) and sadly all of their products are made in China.. Hope this answers your question. Yes, I was disappointed.

I believe they are petroleum wax based, ie not beeswax. As with most kids' products, they don't list ingredients, just say "non-toxic." I believe some people believe buying from Europe is safer than buying Chinese art supplies, since at least in Europe, manufacturing is more closely regulated, whereas in China, it's perceived to be a bit of a free-for-all.

Mine is made in China. All we make here anymore are children and bad decisions, sometimes simultaneously.

I have no idea where it's made but don't waste your money. I bought several "indestructible" toys and within a very shirt time, they were all destroyed. Junk!

No they are printed on a film that covers the mat and if your child likes to chew or put things in their mouth the film peels off rather quickly leaving a plain white mat

I do not have the package any more, but I have the product and it is the best thing I ever got. It can be taken apart and placed in the dishwasher or you can put it in the pot of previously boiled hot water to sterilize it. I use dish soap to wash it and put it in the dishwasher at the end of the day. It is plastic and hose is rubbery. It is small but very powerful just as everything else that is made in Japan. I had bought bigger aspirators or automatic ones, but they just do not work. In this one, you place white tip into the child's nostril and the end of hose into your mouth, and pull like you are sucking form a straw. It sounds yucky, but it all ends up in the little plastic cup, and the good thing is you can see how much is really stuck in your child's nose or baby's nose, and what color discharge is. As doctors will tell you anything green or yellow means infection. More often you clean, faster your child will recover and less the chance to develop an ear infection. Hope this helps.

The tag says made in China. I agree with Greg, seems to be well made. It is more round than in the game, but I am sure it is extremely difficult to make a perfectly square stuffed toy. My daughter doesn't seem to mind.

I don't know where the toy was made. It lasted for about 5 minutes and ended up in the trash.

It was made in China. The quality of the board is very good, strong and well constructed. Some of the marbles are not perfectly made, but adequate, fit in and remain in the holes. I like the large size of the board as it is very easy to pick up and move the marbles without disturbing others. Kids have an easy time using this production.

Hello, It says on the package made in China. The product is disposable and can be reused; however it is not designed for excessive repeated use. It is a cardboard cage, so do not submerge in water but you are able to wipe it down with a damp cloth. For what I want to use it for, it is quite cute. I think it very much worth the money

I peeled it off. Mainly due to the heat that a hard drive can produce. I think the film is simply a remnant of the manufacturing process.
