There are a few things you must bear in mind when purchasing items that are handmade of this nature.
1. These items are NOT toys. They are Keepsakes that will likely be unsuitable for young children or vulnerable adults. Whilst they are made to an incredibly high standard, it is true that they may not withstand the abuse or rough play that a commercially produced item is designed to take.
2. Handmade Keepsakes are NOT CE certified items. Whilst every care is taken, these items are not produced to comply with the regulations necessary to ensure their safety with young children or vulnerable adults.
3. The bears and other items are made with donated materials. Consequently there is no implication or suggestion that these items are free from allergens, pathogens or other hazards associated with those materials.
4. Handcrafted items cannot be rated against fire retardation. It is important to always keep these Keepsakes away from sources of heat or ignition.
5. Hand crafted items can pose risks to young children and babies if small items are removed and swallowed. It is entirely your responsibility to ensure that an item given to others is suitable for their use.
6. No representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied are made to the products or to the operation of this site or the information supplied.
