Chemicals to avoid in kids toys
At The Tot, we never use or recommend anything that hasn’t passed The Tot Test. This means we’ve looked deep into third-party testing, examined ingredients lists and asked in-depth questions about a product’s composition to ensure it’s free of the chemicals we avoid.
When it comes to kids toys, we like to steer clear of:
- Harmful phthalates
- Formaldehyde
- PVC
- BPA + BPS
- Lead & other heavy metals
