Its all about government and corporations and...yes. Its all about government and corporations and pocketbooks. Same problem with vaccine safety. So far, California (of course) is the only state to ban toys made with phthalates. This is supposed to be done by 2009.<BR/>Phthalates are so widely used. Shampoo bottles, cleaning products, basically any plastic that you can reasonably bend or squeeze. So, you stop using those items, then you have to watch out for the really hard plastic that you can't squeeze b/c then the concern for BPA comes into play.<BR/>Its crazy!<BR/>I just try to do as much research on specific toys as possible, especially the ones that will be going into her mouth.<BR/>At least there's a big push for the Bisphenol-A to be removed from store shelves. By some time next year, Walmart & B-RUS will both no longer carry baby / toddler items that release BPA.
