Nothing is more important to us than the safety and well-being of our costumers. That’s why McDonald’s enforces the highest safety protocols. We will not compromise on our expectations and specifications.

Here’s why McDonald’s Happy Meal toys are safe:

•All Happy Meal toys are made exclusively for McDonald’s by McDonald’s own safety-approved suppliers. They’re not “off-the-shelf” toys or made by anyone else.

•When it comes to toy safety, we take nothing for granted. We watch every step of the process. McDonald's toy safety record far exceeds the record for the toy industry overall.

•McDonald’s suppliers do not use lead-based paint on Happy Meal toys. This safety step has been a McDonald’s mandate for more than 20 years.

•Happy Meal toys are tested time and time again. They’re backed by a proactive safety program that starts with the design of the toy and continues throughout the entire process, long before a Happy Meal toy makes it to the production line.

•Testing toys is nothing new at McDonald’s. We have been testing and re-testing our Happy Meal toys for decades. Testing is performed hourly, daily or weekly depending on the toy’s production cycle. Typically, each year in excess of 1,000,000 safety tests are conducted on McDonald's toys.

•McDonald's safety process is backed by a team of 300+ professional injury data analysts, human factor scientists, safety engineers, design engineers, quality engineers and test engineers around the world.
