Are all Sassy products BPA and phthalate free?

Sassy Buzz n Bite Vibrating Teether

This was the question I ask the people at Sassy and this was the response I got….

Hello and thank you for visiting our website. All of our products are Phthalate free and all of our feeding items such as bowls, spoons, plates, snack cups, formula dispensers, MAM Bottles etc are BPA free. We have changed a number of our teethers/rattles to other alternatives and are still in the process of changing the remaining ones. If you have a few in question I would be happy to look those up for you. Thanks and have a great day!

Good to know, right? I thought they were all phthalate AND BPA free, but I guess that isn’t the case. I continued back and forth with Shannon a bit giving her names of teethers and asking where or not they were BPA free. I deleted those that had BPA (disappointingly including a very cute one called “monkey see monkey chew”) from my webstore. So…short story long….the Sassy teethers in my webstore are BPA and phthalate free!!

Earth Brights

February 6th, 2008

Earth Bright RattleSassy has a new line of teether rattles called “Earth Brights”. I’m holding the unopened “wooden trio” toy that I bought about a month ago, but haven’t yet introduced to Madeleine. I commend Sassy for there earth friendly efforts on this one. The toy is made from different fabrics and wooden pieces. They claim the toy is made from quality hardwoods, select fabrics and water-based finishes. They are really really cute. Madeleine has been happily chewing on the bird rattle for a few weeks now.

I think I am most impressed by the unique environmentally friendly packaging. Instead of a bunch of hard to open (I always hurt myself!) plastic packaging that just gets thrown away, these toys are attached to a piece of recycled card board with a few bits of twine. I appreciate that I can recycle the packaging instead of feeling bad about throwing it away. Why does packaging have to be so environmentally UNfriendly? Apparently…it doesn’t.
