Why go to all the trouble to avoid toxic PVC (vinyl) plastic? Lead. Phthalates. VOC’s. Dioxin. Just for starters. It’s nothing to mess around with, especially considering that these chemicals are...
well-established carcinogens and endocrine disruptors that wreak havoc on growing children. We’re talking about developmental damage here, as well as damage to the liver, central nervous, respiratory and reproductive systems.
The bummer is that PVC (#3 recycling code) is found in an unthinkable number of everyday products and there are very few safer alternatives that really get the job done. This creates a nearly impossible task for concerned parents who would love to be able to make quick substitutions.
But as we always say: this is a journey. The idea is to start by making one change at a time.
You can make a difference right away by keeping an eye out for these common sources of soft, flexible vinyl – the most problematic because of the stabilizers (like lead and other heavy metals) and plasticizers (like phthalates) required to make it more pliable.
