High Exposure Risk — Why This Product Category Matters

Infants and toddlers are uniquely vulnerable to chemical exposure. Their bodies are still developing, their detoxification systems are immature, and they spend more time on floors and put objects in their mouths. Pound-for-pound, children receive higher doses of environmental chemicals than adults from the same products.

Why We Rated It This Way

LEGO is a beloved brand and ABS plastic is one of the safer plastic types. However, children handle LEGO bricks extensively and the plastic still contains chemical additives. LEGO has committed to plant-based materials but most bricks are still ABS. A reasonable choice for older children.
