San Francisco bans Toxic Toys!
Widely used chemicals with suspected links to cancer and developmental problems in humans are present in common baby products like the yellow rubber ducky, bath books and clear plastic bottles, a Chronicle analysis confirmed...
..."Protections for children from chemicals in toys are weak at best and dysfunctional at worst,'' said Joel Tickner, a professor of environmental health at the University of Massachusetts Lowell. He has served as a consultant to the forum and on national panels that advise the U.S. government on chemicals in the environment.
I point this out as US Government scientists state in low numbers the toxins are not a problem. With Adult Babies it could be a problem as we may chew on these toys with somewhat more vigor than a child would, thus increasing the potential for more "leaching" of toxins. Be careful!
