Faktablad – ftalater i leksaker

I am not an expert in chemicals but I know that ALL toys which are not natural and certified ecological (with the adequate label, although there none such specifically for toys!), are full of toxic chemicals. Unfortunately, not many parents/grandparents are aware of this and one seems to never have enough information about it. On the Swedish Chemicals Agency you can find a short report on the most common chemical - ftalater - in (plastic) toys, which gives you an idea how "healthy" this is long-term for the child...

On the same site, you can also read that the "three less dangerous phthalates DINP, DIDP and DNOP are banned in all toys and childcare articles if they can be placed in the mouth."

I just wonder, how do you explain that to the child and make sure that the toy is NOT to be put in the mouth?
