10 Companies Manufacturing Toy Joy in the USA.
Why are American Made Toys So Rare? Over the past few decades, many toy manufacturers have moved their production overseas, where lower labor costs, cheaper materials, and mass production make it easier to compete in a global market. While this shift has made toys more affordable for consumers, it has also come at a cost—one that is especially clear when you consider safety, quality, and the loss of domestic jobs.
Foreign manufacturing often means less stringent safety standards, and the constant need for recalls shows just how risky this can be. Supporting American-made toys means peace of mind, knowing that your child is playing with something that was built under strict safety regulations.
