Our daughters are excited and make repeatedly bands. Whether they are toxic or not, I can not judge. Do you know the movie Armageddon? 'American parts, Russian parts - are all from Taiwan! Applies to me here for Looms as: whether from China, USA, England or Germany - all come from China! They must not eat so and after some time they go (due to dehydration) broken anyway, its just rubber. The main thing the kids are creative and have fun.
