One of our clinics has received a donation of hand-made knitted and crocheted soft toys, intended to give to our younger patients who attend frequently.  We are looking at how we can use these, and future donations.  

So... these aren't toys being placed on the market, so we don't believe that The Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011 applies.  We have looked at labels alerting the parent/ carer that the toy is handmade and not independently CE/ UKCA marked, etc. 

However, I would be really interested to learn from other organisations who have been in a similar situation, and what decision you eventually made regarding labels, quality control, etc.  

Thanks in anticipation.

In a world awash with "allergies" (and ambulance chasers) the most sensible place for hand made toys of indeterminate materials of untested construction is unfortunately the bin.
