How to Tell if Your Plastic Products Are Safe for Babies and Toddlers
Plastic products made for babies and toddlers are often created using injection molding, a specialty of our company. Injection molding is a manufacturing process where molten substances are injected into a mold. This allows a product to be manufactured many times over. Remember when you were a child and you used a plastic fork to eat a birthday cake at a friend's birthday party? It was almost certainly made using an injection molding process. But are these products safe for babies and toddlers?
Safety Concerns About Plastic Products
Children can be messy. Plastic utensils such as forks, spoons, plates, and cups are popular because they make cleaning up faster and easier. But you may have heard concerns about the effects of plastics on the human body from friends or the media. Notably, an ingredient used in some plastics called BPA (Bisphenol A) has been the subject of studies that suggest possibly harmful effects on children. According to the New York Times, the FDA banned the use of BPA in the manufacture of baby bottles for this reason. We certify that the materials we use are BPA and Phthalate free in all of our baby products.
