Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the risks of phthalates in toys?

A: Along with Bisphenol A, phthalates have also recently been labeled hazardous materials by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), but again, removing them from stores that may stockpile products will take some time. Recent clinical studies prompted by products liability lawsuits report serious health threats to children exposed to phthalates.

Phthalates are chemical additives to polyvinyl chloride (PVC), itself a known carcinogen, to make the hard plastic more flexible and moldable. They have been linked to reproductive disorders in boys, as well as asthma. Several formulas of phthalates commonly used in children's products will be banned from manufacture over the next few years, but not necessarily from sale. To find out about which products are recalled and which remain in circulation, visit the CPSC Website.
