About the brand
B. toys is the babies-and-toddlers line of Maison Battat of Montreal (described that way by a third party; no first-party Battat history page was found, and third-party sources conflict on a founding date — 1897 versus 1968 — so none is stated here). Its materials vary by toy and age rating — wood, plastic, cloth, metal, and other materials — and its FAQ states all wooden toys are smoothly sanded with rounded corners. The homepage link above goes to the B. toys page on the maker site; the brand domain justbtoys.com redirects there, which is why that page, in English, is the link published here.

What the brand publishes
B. toys' FAQ states its toys meet or exceed all US, Canadian, and the even more rigorous European safety standards, all CPSC directives and guidelines, and all ASTM regulations — no numbered standard (no ASTM F963, no EN 71) is named there, and none is added here. Its described process is in-house: in-house use-and-abuse testing on all products, plus on-site inspection by its own quality-control staff during manufacturing and before products ship from the factory. No external or third-party lab is named. Source: B. toys FAQ.
The honest caveats
Walk ’n Learn recall 22-103 — not the squeeze sets
B. toys Walk 'n' Learn Wooden Activity Toddler Walkers, CPSC recall 22-103 (March 16, 2022, about 17,200 US units): wheels and wheel attachment hardware can detach in small pieces, choking hazard, free repair kit, models BX2008, BX2095, BX2126. That is a wooden walker, not either listed squeeze set (BX1481Z, BX1482Z).
Older Battat recalls — not the squeeze sets
Older Battat recalls — a 2011 musical wooden table and 2008 Target sundae sets — likewise do not touch the listed sets.
