Question 1

it says non toxic ......what is up with the reviews that say they have a strong chemical smell?

Accepted Answer

I will echo the very very very strong chemical smell.  I purchased this in July'17 and am just getting aroudn to writing a review in late Sept'17.  Very unfortunately missed the return deadline, but we are going to pitch it at this point. We opened up the plastic wrapping upon receipt and were overwhelmed by the strong chemical odor. VERY strong, and just did not smell good or right. Really uncomfortable having my 18-mo old child play with this.  We washed 1 piece w/ dishsoap to see if there was an improvement; there was a minor improvement. However, after nearly 2 months of sitting on a shelf, in going to process the return, I pulled out the other veggies in the bushel - the rest of the them *still* smelled quite chemical-ly / toxic even after all this time.  So we are pitching it.  Strongly recommend that Learning Resources go back to their China-based manufacturer and triple-check that changes have not been made that LR is not aware of; I know firsthand that this happens all the time - part and parcel of working with many companies over there.  Very disappointed bc the color, size, and types of veggies were all otherwise perfect.  :/

Question 2

Is the size of the bushel here the same as the one on learning resources farmers market color sorting set?

Accepted Answer

yes...love these products!

Question 3

Does this come in a toy box or regular carboard box?

Accepted Answer

I'm not sure I understand your question, but If I recall correctly, this toy came as pictured, wrapped in see through plastic packing. If you are referring to the basket pictured which it sits in, it's plastic... does this answer your question? The shipment arrived in a cardboard box.

Question 4

I don't understand. The product says for 18 months (1yr and a half) but there's a warning signs that states "not for children under 3yrs".

Accepted Answer

I bought this item. It stinks like plastic and paint when you open it. Might be not recommended under 3 because they put stuff in their mouths, but my kids didn’t have any issues and the parts aren’t all that small.
