Crafts Toys

What are the toxic-free brands of baby toys? Are brands such as Safety First and The First Years safe?

Are these brands free of pthalates? My baby is 7 months old and she needs some toys to stimulate her. Any suggestions. Safe toys, of course.

1. No, most of the toys you will find at regular commercial toy stores do contain pthalates. The FDA and other regulatory agencies do now acknowledge any dangers in pthalates, parabens, dioxins, SLS, sodium polyacrylate, etc., so the manufacturers don't see a need to change to more expensive materials. If you want non-toxic toys, shop at natural baby stores. Some good online stores are: www.cottonbabies.com www.wilddill.com www.melissaanddoug.com
