Made in China

Due to recent recalls of toys made in China, many of you have been asking about the safety of Discovery Toys. The company's primary concern has always been safety, and rigorous steps have been in place since the beginning of the company nearly 30 years ago. An independent testing firm tests products before they leave the factory, and again upon arrival at the US warehouse. Heavy metal lead testing is done, as well as bacterial and flammability testing, where applicable.

Discovery Toys, Inc. displays this Quality Promise on their website:

Our Quality and Safety Promise to Parents…
Discovery Toys promises that all of our products meet or exceed all standards set by the US and Canadian governments regarding safety. These are the most extensive, effective, and widely emulated standards in the world – regardless of where the products are manufactured. All products are tested for flammability, hazardous materials and toxic elements - including lead, by an independent laboratory prior to shipment from domestic and foreign manufacturers. In an ongoing effort to ensure the quality and safety of our products, we regularly review the labor practices, raw materials and manufacturing processes used by our vendors.

Discovery Toys convention

I'm back from Discovery Toys convention in Oakland (where there was a 4.2 earthquake, lucky us!) Many exciting new things are happening at our company. This Fall, our catalog will include a dozen exclusive Playskool(r) toys, meaning they are not available through any other channels, just DT. There are 40 other new products, too. Plus many enhancements are slated for our website, as well. Yippee! Long overdue!

Since I last wrote, my son redesigned my personal website. Please check it out:

The Pearl Team and uplines in Rio de Janeiro

What an amazing time we had with our friends and families in fabulous Rio de Janeiro!! Once a year, DT provides a spectacular incentive trip. We walked the beaches at Copacabana and Ipanema, and drank caipirinhas, the national drink of Brazil. My carioca (native of Rio) buddy from grad school who I hadn't seen in ages, sent us home with a beautiful bottle of cachaça, the alcholic component of this lime drink. A trip to remember

Michigan...

... is the only place in the world with a floating post office. The J.W. Westcott II is the only boat in the world that delivers mail to ships while they are still underway. They have been operating for 125 years.

Welcome to our newest teammember, who's from Michigan.

I hope it will help you learn about our company, our Sales Directorship and more.
