Toy Safety Guide

Toy Safety Guide

  • BPA, known as Bispenol A, is chemical found in hard plastics and can interfere with baby’s hormone development.
  • PVC, also known as vinyl, is found in many soft and squishy toys. It is a known carcinogen that can cause cancer and other horrible defects.
  • Phthalates help soften plastic and are found in flexible PVC toys and dyes. They are a known carcinogen.
  • Some children’s toys have been treated with flame retardants. Pediatricians says that the toxic chemicals in these materials can cause more harm than good especially if baby ingests them.

When choosing baby toys for 6 month old babies, most of us can’t test our toys for BPA, phthalates, and PVC. Most plastics are labeled with a number underneath. We have to be vigilant about reading the labels on toys and checking toy recalls on the CPSC government website. There are 7 different plastics labeled 1-7, but not all of them are safe. Most plastic toys should have a label near the recycling logo. Use this quick tip guide to choose safe toys for 6 month old babies.

Good

Avoid

Look for “phthalate, BPA, and PVC” free toys Plastic labeled #3 plastic 3 as it typically contains lead and phthalates
Toys made in USA, Japan, Canada, and Europe are generally safer Plastic labeled #7 plastic 7 which may leach BPA.
Fabric should be untreated cotton, hemp, or wool Plastic labeled #1 plastic 1 which is found in plastic water bottles.
Choose products made from natural materials Toys treated with flame retardants or labeled flame resistant
Painted toys should be labeled nontoxic Old toys that may contain lead paint
Wooden toys should be certified by FSC or SPF Pressed wood due to toxic glue
Choose toys made with solid woods instead of pressed wood Permanent markers and paint
Use the toilet paper rule to identify toys that can present a choking hazard Play cosmetics as most of them contain heavy metal
Look for toy brands committed to environmentally friendly materials Vinyl toys which contain lead and phthalates
