The LEGO Group

The LEGO Group is a privately held company based in Billund, Denmark. The company is still owned by the Kirk Kristiansen family who founded it in 1932. We are the masters of reinvention. The first brick we made over 60 years ago is as culturally relevant today as it always was (and still fits too!). And that’s because it is only ever one half of the toy. The other half is the child. LEGO play offers the chance of constant discovery – the possibility of creating something new every time. We are a company that will always be creating, inventing and having fun.

Naturepedic

When Barry Cik went to a baby store to buy a crib mattress for his first grandchild in 2003, he was concerned by what he found in the products: assorted chemicals, vinyl/PVC with phthalates, polyurethane foam with flame retardants, formaldehyde, GMOs, glues/adhesives, and more.

Cik said. “When I asked the salesperson about it, he tried to reassure me by saying, ‘oh, come on; if it wasn’t safe the government wouldn’t allow it to be sold!’ And I said, ‘you’ve got to be kidding me.’” “I just couldn’t buy it,”
