Safely Using Plastics in Baby Products

September 22, 2024

Few areas of product safety are considered more carefully than with products designed for babies. Care must be taken to ensure this vulnerable segment of our population is exposed to only the safest of products. For the plastics industry, this means both thoughtful product design and careful selection of plastic resins.

Product Design for Plastic Baby Products

While regulatory guidelines determine many aspects of baby product design, working with an experienced injection molding team can enhance your product design. With knowledge of everything from safety guidelines and best practices to expertise in plastic resin selection, mold design, and finishing processes, plastics experts can help you make safe, durable, high-quality products in the most efficient ways.

Safe Plastic Resins for Baby Products

Beyond design considerations, one of the most common concerns for consumers is an item's material makeup. Increased awareness of the potential harm caused by phthalates, BPA, and other chemicals in some plastics has changed manufacturing choices for these products in recent years. While older children and adults may be affected by these chemicals, infants and toddlers are particularly susceptible to ill effects due to their age, and how often these products find their ways into baby mouths (sippy cups, teethers, toys, plastic silverware and dishes, packaging, and more). 


At Bennett Plastics, we take safety seriously, from our own employees through the supply chain and certainly, to the end users of the products we manufacture. Contact us today to take advantage of our decades of experience and satisfied customers, knowing we can help make your plastic baby products among the safest on the market.
