PVC-Free, Phthalates-Free, Lead-Free and Fire Retardant-Free Toy Manufacturers
The results are in... cuteheads lovie blankets are lead-free,formaldehyde-free, and are fire-retardant, so you know your cutehead will be safe when playing with (or chewing on!) them. Last week, we submitted these lil blankets for testing to meet American Toy Safety & US Consumer Products Safety Council standards, even though they'd already been through testing once before. Why did we do this? To ensure that the product you are giving your child is 100% safe for him or her to use at this sensitive time in their development. Not 50%, not 90%... 100%. As the US imports more goods from foreign countries, we lose more control over the quality of these items as well as the safety. If you knew the product you were giving your little one wasn't safe, would you give it to him? Unfortunately, it's hard to tell sometimes, so we have to use our best judgement by making informed decisions. That's why parents have to be the ultimate barrier between children and products made from harmful materials.
We at cuteheads care deeply for your little one, so we've compiled a list of manufacturers that make lead, phthalates, formaldehyde-free (yes, some companies use this!) toys and accessories, so you can shop smart and safe for the holidays.
