Every single plastic object in my house, I now eye with suspicion and look for the secret skull and crossbone symbol tattooed onto it somewhere. Chances are, if I’m holding a plastic object in my hand, I’m running to my old friend Google, to see if it’s going to give me a raging case of [...]

It’s stuff like this that make me as a parent feel totally out of control. I originally found a link to The Consumerist where they list out a bevy of toys and other household items like duct tape that contain asbestos.

So far we’ve only come across one teether that’s not even on sale yet and I have yet to find better information on what teethers and utensils already on the market are BPA and Phthalates free.

Someone asked Kathy about alternatives to teething rings.

I found a really great article from the environmental working group, as a follow up to Kathy’s last post, regarding Bisphenol-A in canned foods.

I have already decided that I do not want or need to post every time a recall comes about. The feeds pull in from the left side and parents can subscribe or read them there. Posting about them would be overkill. But I wanted to draw attention to the Boppy Slipcover recall because many of [...]
