Is Child Labour used in the manufacture of your toys??? Mimitoys has spent a considerable amount of time researching their suppliers' chain of production. At the end of our research into this matter we can state that our suppliers and their suppliers have signed or stated that they do not use child-labour in the manufacture of their toys.
We can also catagorically state that all our suppliers have signed anti child labour codes of practise or are members of professional bodies that only allow members who have signed similar anti child labour codes of practise eg British Toy & Hobbies Association (BTHA).
