I have bought her a variety of safe teethers, including Sophie the Giraffe, several wooden rings, Nuby teethers, but she does not like any of them. She has to have her plastic rings. Do you know if these are BPA free? I highly doubt it since I'm sure they are not meant for teething. Or do you have any suggestions on BPA free teething rings that are tiny enough that she might be interested in them? Thank you! Hello,

I finally received the following e-mail from the consumer relations manager, after being pretty demanding: Christin, I hope that I will be able to provide you with an answer to your question. With the use of phthalates, BPA and PVC’s, there are strict guidelines as to its usage. The Animal Sounds Fun book does contain these materials. With its containment, the product has met and passed the guideline set forth by the government in being below the minimal percentage allowed. If you have any additional questions or concerns feel free to direct them towards me. So, I personally have decided not to use any of their products. I don't trust their company any more. I don't know if all their products contain PVC, BPA, and phthalates, but I am assuming because of the very evasive answers, they probably do. Hope this helps.

They explain that all Infantino items (except for their rubber duck) are free of PVC and phthalates. And we've heard from several others sources that monitor product safety and quality carefully (third party lead testing, etc.) - so even though they're made in China, it should be fine.

It says it's non-toxic, but it's made of Polyester, Plastic Pellet, Polyurethane Foam, and Cellophane. There is supposed to be a teether in there. It's also made in China. Is this safe?
