Melissa & Doug Clacking Key Ring

I really like most attributes of this toy (or rather my son does), but the paint issue really irks me. I unfortunately hope I can still return it because my son can't play with it. Even if the paint is nontoxic, I still don't want my 4 month old son to ingest it. Shame, really, because it is otherwise quite cute and well constructed.

I love Melissa and Doug because they use non-toxic materials and you can trust that the product is safe. The picture does not really show how big this toy really is. My baby likes it, but if it was a bit smaller it would be easier for her to bang around, and probably more fun.

these large clacking keys came in a wooden box. To give you an idea of how bad the paint issue is with these keys, some of the paint on the keys had rubbed off on the wooden container while it was still in the package! given the size, shape and recommended age range for these keys, melissa and doug can't possibly expect that these keys won't be mouthed and bitten, yet they use a paint that immediately chips, flakes and rubs off. 30 seconds of toy testing would be enough to demonstrate the problem. Since this toy does not appear on the manufacturer's website, I don'y know if it is a discontinued item or what, but I would have to recommendagainst buying it.

Our daughter was given this toy as a gift and after playing with it for about 10 minutes, we threw it in the trash. The paint started chipping off immediately and there is no way we were going to let her continue to play with it. I've noticed that every Melissa and Doug toy she's had does the same thing. We no longer buy anything from the brand and have asked people not to gift it to our little one.
