Bright Starts Teethers

February 12th, 2008

I contacted Bright Starts to ask them about their teethers this week. I had my fingers crossed that their teethers were BPA and phthalate free because Madeleine has been chewing on one for weeks! Seriously…shame on me for not checking sooner, but I was pleasantly surprised at their response. See below…

Hello Rebecca,

The plastic used for our clear teethers is called; EVA = Ethylene Vinyl Acetate

And our teethers are not filled with a gel; they are filled with sterilized water.

All of our products are phthalate; PVC, BPA and Latex free.

Please let me know if I can assist you with anything else.

Thank you,
Angela

It was refreshing to get this response. I have been writing to a lot of the companies (I’ll be posting their responses) and getting mixed messages and confusing answers about which of their products are BPA free and phthalate free. I wrote back and commended them for their efforts to keep our kids safe!
