Safety, Responsibility, and Buyer Acknowledgment

Introduction

At Brickfigurez, we pride ourselves on creating unique, high-quality brick figures and DIY sets that offer an engaging and rewarding building experience. However, it is essential to understand that these products are designed for builders aged 8 and above. Due to the small size of many of our components, these products are not suitable for young children and can pose potential hazards if not handled appropriately.

This blog post will detail why Brickfigurez products have an age limit, the potential risks associated with small building blocks, and why we are not responsible for improper use of our products. It will also outline how purchasing our items acknowledges your understanding of these safety precautions.

Why Are Brickfigurez Products Recommended for Ages 8 and Above?

1. Choking Hazard

Many of the pieces in our brick figures and DIY sets are small and can pose a serious choking hazard for young children. Small components can be easily swallowed or inhaled, leading to life-threatening situations.

For this reason, we strongly discourage parents from purchasing Brickfigurez sets for children under the age of 8. Even at ages 8 and above, adult supervision is encouraged to ensure a safe and enjoyable building experience.

2. Fine Motor Skills and Cognitive Readiness

Our products require a certain level of dexterity, patience, and problem-solving ability. Many of our intricate designs involve:

• Small, delicate parts that require careful handling.

• Complex assembly instructions that younger children may find difficult to follow.

• A higher level of focus to properly complete models without frustration.

By setting the recommended age limit at 8 and above, we ensure that our products align with the motor and cognitive development levels required for successful and safe building.

3. Product Durability and Proper Use

Brickfigurez products are designed with precision and high-quality materials, but they must be handled with care. Younger children who do not have the patience or skill to assemble these figures properly may apply excessive force, leading to:

• Damaged parts that could result in sharp edges.

• Broken connections that compromise the integrity of the figure.

• Frustration and difficulty in completing the set correctly.

To preserve the quality and integrity of our products, it is best that they are used by individuals who understand how to handle them properly.

Safety Concerns and Our Responsibility

1. Choking Hazard Disclaimer

We want to emphasize that our products contain small parts that could present a choking risk to children under 3 years of age. This is why you will find warning labels on our packaging and product descriptions stating:

WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD – Small parts. Not for children under 3 years. Recommended for ages 8 and up.

Despite these warnings, some customers may still choose to give these products to younger children. Brickfigurez is not responsible for any accidents, injuries, or safety incidents that occur due to improper use.

2. Supervision and Parental Responsibility

Parents and guardians should always make informed decisions when purchasing building toys. If purchasing a Brickfigurez product for a child under 8, supervision is crucial. We encourage parents to:

• Assess the child’s ability to handle small parts responsibly.

• Monitor assembly and playtime to ensure safety.

• Store parts properly to prevent younger siblings from accessing them.

3. We Are Not Liable for Improper Use

While we design our products with safety and durability in mind, we cannot control how they are used once they leave our hands. By purchasing a Brickfigurez product, you acknowledge that you understand and accept the potential risks involved.

Brickfigurez is not responsible for:

• Accidental ingestion or choking hazards.

• Injuries caused by improper handling.

• Misuse of the product in a way that leads to breakage or harm.

This acknowledgment is part of our standard purchasing agreement, which customers accept when completing a transaction on our website.

How to Ensure a Safe and Enjoyable Brickfigurez Experience

1. Store Pieces Securely

After building, always store extra pieces in a secure location. Small pieces left lying around can pose a risk to younger children and even pets.

2. Follow Instructions Carefully

Brickfigurez sets come with detailed instructions that should be followed step by step to ensure the build is completed correctly. This prevents forceful handling that could lead to broken or loose pieces.

3. Dispose of Broken Parts Responsibly

If a piece becomes damaged, discard it properly to prevent it from being mistaken as a toy by younger children.

4. Educate Young Builders

If gifting a set to a child, take time to educate them on proper use, safe storage, and the importance of not putting pieces in their mouths.

Final Thoughts

At Brickfigurez, we are committed to providing high-quality, engaging building experiences while prioritizing safety. Our age recommendation of 8 and above is in place to ensure the best possible experience for our customers while minimizing risks.

By purchasing our products, you acknowledge the potential hazards of small pieces and accept responsibility for their safe use. We encourage responsible purchasing, proper supervision, and careful handling to make every Brickfigurez experience safe and enjoyable.
