DISQUS

We also have tried to rid our house of BPA and PVC which is a carcinogen in plastic toys. The state of CA has recently passed a bill to ban all pthalate toys from our shelves and they are also attacking the BPA bottles. We too, have started using Klean Kanteens which I can\'t say enough about. We love them! We just want to err on the side of caution as well, especially as cancer, ADD, early-onset puberty, autism and various other serious issues continue to rise at alarming rates. Thanks for posting this.

better yet go green and buy eco-friendly, non-plastic toys that are safer for your kids and allow them to use their imaginations. I have started ridding our house of plastic, including toys, and for b-days and the impending Christmas I have purchased fantastic toys from a website called Oompa. They gaurantee that none of their toys, talk, dance, light up, etc. My daughter celebrated her birthday this past weekend and I bought her a wooden frog pull toy, although I am sure that she will love this toy soon enough, it is her older sister who hasn\'t put it down for two days. She does everything with \"Frogalina\" which she named herself, eat, sleep, go gracery shopping--I love it! This website, as well as, ebeanstalk.com gaurantees lead-free, non-toxic, socially responsible, toys mostly made in Europe. If they are made in China they are done so under strict guidelines and under fair conditions! Gotta love that!! Check them out, you won\'t regret it. Oh and the price tag can be a bit higher on these higher quality toys but do what we do and buy a few really great toys for the same amount of money that you would spend on too many one-dimensional toys.
