Dear SafeMama: Tylenol and Melamine

Posted on: Oct 1, 2008

Filed Under Dear SafeMama, melamine | Comments Off

Is there any product out there that is comparable to Children’s Tylenol that doesn’t contain artificial colors/flavors and high fructose corn syrup, which most likely is genetically modified. I haven’t been able to find anything that is an all natural form of pain medicine/fever reducer for children. Any help in the right direction would be [...]

Q: How safe is Clorox Anywhere Spray? They say it’s safe to use around kids and pets. If it’s really not safe, is there a better alternative that works the same way? I had to answer this one because I am on a personal greening mission in my own home. Before I say whether I [...]

Q: Do you have any information on buying PBDE free furniture, specifically sofas? I am in the market for a new sofa but I’m not sure which ones contain no PBDEs or formaldehyde. Thanks for any help you can provide. I’m glad you brought this question up. Greening your house seems like one of those [...]

Q: I have been reading about how fragrances used in a lot of products (candles, air fresheners, etc) are toxic. I was wondering about the fragrance in dryer sheets. Are scented dryer sheets safe to use? Should we be using unscented ones, or should we be using something else all together? Scented and unscented dryer [...]

Dear SafeMama, I have been looking all over the net for an answer with no luck, we have always placed our son since he was born in the center of the back seat, we think is the safest place(because of the side impact problems)on the other hand I know is a bigger hassle as the [...]

Dear SafeMama: Etiquette and Countertops

Q: This is more of an etiquette question… what is the best way you have found to ask family and friends not to buy evil Fisher Price toys or chemical laden bath products for your kiddos? I certainly want to be polite, but I don’t want their gift selection for birthdays and Christmas to go [...]

Well, after yesterdays Dear SafeMama snafu with the SPF ingredients I went on a hunt to find another lip balm containing SPF … but an SPF created by titanium dioxide rather than Oxybenzowhateverthecrap.

Dear SafeMama: Lip Balms and Bath Mats

Q: There is a great range paraben & phthalate free lip balms out there, but I can’t tell if they have any sun protection in them. Are there any safe options specifically for lips? If there is anyone more addicted to lip balms, glosses, tints, sticks, pots and pens… it’s me. I have literally 7-8 [...]

Q: What do you recommend for toddler vitamins that don’t include dyes and other junk? This is one of those “you should ask your doctor” type questions so let me preface this answer with just that. Anything to do with giving your child any kind of supplements should be discussed with your child’s pediatrician. Now, [...]
