BPA toys

Do you try to buy BPA free toys? I do, but some toys that were gifts I'm not sure of. For example, M likes to chew on these BRU squirt bath toys someone gave us, but they're rubber.  I don't know if rubber is BPA free...tried googling and found nothing.  I don't stop her but I was just wondering if I make too much of it?!

Re: BPA toys

  • I've noticed that any toys that a person might reasonably expect a baby to play with, not just teething toys, seem to be labeled as BPA Free.

    I'd mostly be worried about older toys manufactured before we knew BPA was bad.


    this-- I bet most new toys for this young age group are manufactured BPA free.

    But, we all chewed on BPA toys as kids, used bottles with BPA, and we all get BPA exposure in receipts, can linings and other things currently, so it is pretty hard to eliminate it everywhere.  As long as it isn't something that is in their mouth regularly (like a bottle or spoon), I wouldn't worry about it.
