Jillian's Drawers only carries HABA wooden toys that are made in Rodenbach, Germany. This is important
because HABA does make a small selection of wooden toys in China. We have decided to not carry wooden toys
that are made in China. Please note that any HABA toys comprised of cloth (such as blankets, cloth books, etc.)
are made in China (this excludes wooden toys).
The varnishes and paints used in HABA wooden toys are all non-toxic and water-based.

Safety
HABA has been testing their toys for years to meet
higher standards than required by European or US
manufacturing regulations. This expensive testing
is done independently in Nuremberg, Germany, and
HABA toys are in accordance with:
- EN 71 European Standard for Toy Safety
- ASTM F 963 Standard Consumer Safety
Specification
- EU directive 76/769 EEC on azo-dyes
(forbidden amine)
- Chemicals prohibition ordinance (national)

Family Friendly
In July 2005 the HABA corporate family was awarded the
audit berufundfamilie® [Job and Family Audit] Certificate.
This is recognition of a family-conscious corporate policy
that continually makes fair and reasonable allowance for
its employees’ family situation and needs.
HABA wants to be a company for children and their
families.
