How do I know if a toy was made in the USA?

Check the product description to see where a toy was made.

Keep in mind that some toys may only have some components that were made in the USA. For example, the wood in a Lincoln Logs is sourced and manufactured in the US, but most of the plastic parts are imported.

If you can’t find this information on the brand’s website, contact the company directly to inquire about a specific item.

You may be surprised to learn that toys from these brands are actually produced overseas.

  • Lego. No doubt an American favorite, Lego bricks are actually manufactured in Denmark, Hungary, Mexico, China and the Czech Republic.
  • Build-A-Bear. Its stores are a mainstay in many suburban malls, but Build-A-Bear’s products are mostly produced in Asia.
  • Fisher-Price. It’s a brand name recognized in most kid-friendly households, though Fisher-Price imports most of its products.
  • Barbie. Mattel’s dolls are made in China, Indonesia and Malaysia.
