Melissa and Doug... made in China(!)

I was surprised and disappointed to see today on my daughters wooden Melissa and Doug puzzle - that it’s made in China. Apparently all their products are? It’s odd because the puzzle says “crafted by hand”. Somehow I doubt that now. I’m concerned because my understanding is that China doesn’t have as strict rules about the safety of their products. So here I was thinking I’m doing the best for my baby (wood instead of plastic, well known brand, hand crafted products, etc) and turns out that’s not the case. I’m just so bummed 🙁

Side note: anyone have any other brands they like for wooden toys that aren’t made in China and aren’t outrageously expensive?
