Danger Of Toxic Toys - Myths & Misconceptions

Protecting one’s children is of utmost important to parents. Unfortunately, it is now necessary to educate ourselves about how to keep our children safe from potentially harmful chemicals in their toys. Parents should be striving to limit their children’s exposure to chemicals found in many toys on the market today. One chemical of concern is phthalates. Phthalates is a group of chemicals that is often added to plastic to increase its flexibility.
The phthalates found in some toys are used as a plastic softener for polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Sometimes PVC toys are labeled with a V or #3 inside the chasing arrows triangle, which is located on the bottom of a product. Unfortunately, most are not labeled. Typically, if a toy is made of a squishy plastic (think baby dolls) or if it is highly flexible plastic (like the plastic-like "fabric" used for some dolls) you should either avoid it or call the manufacturer to see if the product is made with PVC or phthalates.
In addition to phthalates, lead, cadmium, arsenic, mercury, bromine, antimony, chromium, tin, xylene, toluene, and bisphenol-A should all be avoided in children’s toys.
One mistake parents make is assuming that products must be proven safe before they can be sold and they trust that the government wouldn't allow unsafe toys to be sold. Government regulations are very outdated and ineffective when it comes to the ever-changing world of chemicals and their use in consumer products.
When choosing toys for your children, the best guideline is to buy items made from natural and organic materials. Solid wood that is either unfinished or finished with a non-toxic finish or toys made of organic cotton, hemp, or wool are all good choices.
