Join
SAFbaby.com to ask major toy manufacturers to stop using toxic PVC in
toys AND packaging in infant/baby/children toys.
As a large, and rapidly growing, group of concerned parents, we wish to take a stand against PVC in our children's toys and packaging.
The
CPSC regulations have worked to minimize phthalates in our toys, and we are asking toy manufacturers to step to the plate and take this safety issue to the next level. There are many safe alternatives on the market!
PVC is a toxic substance that should not be in our children's toys and packaging for many reasons:
- PVC creates indoor air pollution with as many as 108 volatile organic chemicals. These chemicals are known to cause developmental damages. Also, exposure to these chemicals may cause damage to the nervous, reproductive and respiratory systems, as well as the liver.
- PVC is harmful for the environment, cannot be recycled, and is recommended to be disposed of in a secure triple-lined hazardous waste landfill.
- PVC packaging, under the right conditions such as heat, may leach directly onto our children's toys.
Our little ones are extremely vulnerable to all of these harmful toxins. Let's do what we can to keep them safe.
Please sign the petition and forward it to your friends and family!
After we gather enough signatures,
SAFbaby.com will send the petition to major toy manufacturers.

PVC is extremely toxic to the developing bodies of our babies and children. PVC outgasses toxins that are harmful, and under the right conditions (like heat). Also, PVC packaging can leech onto the toys they are packaged in. Also, PVC is harmful for the environment, cannot be recycled, and is recommended to be disposed of in a secure triple-lined hazardous waste landfill.
As a parent this is of great concern. We wish to let you know that we will make purchases for our children based on product and packaging and there are many companies out there that offer safer alternatives.
So, please consider the effects of what you are giving to our children and their future, and make the positive change before you have to by law.
Thank you for taking this issue seriously!
