Son has health issues & need to know if it says anywhere if this is pthalate/BPA-free? Is there a smell to it?

We've had this for awhile now so I don't have the box, but it doesn't say anything, other than Made in China, on it. I don't smell anything on the ball at all. Sorry I couldn't be more help

I do not know what is in it, but you might be safer getting it from a local store that can answer your question.

The ball just says made in china and I don't have the box anymore. I do remember that when I first got it out of the box it did smell though.

I have no idea. I would doubt that it is safe for him. Could you google that question and see if it comes up? I wish you luck. Give him a hug from this grammey!

Heya Noah, as with any new rubber-vinyl product, such as a kid's pool or air mattress, there will be some odor upon first opening the package. I did not find any offensive smell, really, but go ahead and inflate it, and let it air for an hour or so, outside if you must.....I just found that mine had a new product, clean smell. So hope that helps. Any chemical smell will subside shortly, in my experience, and it's not even that "bad". I have purchased several of INTEX's mattresses and have been delighted with the products. Best of luck, and enjoy your very well made mattress. kk voicebender.com Heya Noah, as with any new rubber-vinyl product, such as a kid's pool or air mattress, there will be some odor upon first opening the package.

I don't recall there being any clear indication of either; it's not like food plastic where there is a number at the bottom to tell you if it's recyclable (3, 6, & 7 are the have BPA or hormone disrupters). I'm pretty confident it's not organic fabric since it seems like all synthetic materials. Also, I've only seen organic baby clothing in pale colors because of the organic/natural dyes available. The inside of some of the stuffed toys make "crinkle" noises because it is like crispy plastic bags inside.

It is made in China and there is no number for the type of the plastic or if it is BPA free. It does not seem to have an odor. Hope this helps.

A question I too have wondered! I smell it too. The animal line of crane say (PCB free) but I don't see it anywhere on this one. I'd like to know the answer to thius too!

I am not sure what you are looking for. However, I can tell you that there is no odor now, nor was there an odor when I first got it. It is BPA free and is recyclable material. It is just nice, clean liner. I would buy it again.

I think we may have noticed that briefly when we first got it too but it left quickly. Our baby and 2 yr old sleep on them and no allergies I can think of that come from the mattress, far less chemicals than any other mattress for sure. Hope this helps!

I can't say for sure that it's 100% organic, but the colgate website boasts that it's "Made with Certi-PUR-US® certified, ecologically friendlier foam made from plant oils." You can call their customer service number on their website to get more details. We love this mattress. It has no chemical smell and my son falls asleep immediately in it. Hope this helps.

I've just checked the box. It does not mention whether it is or it isn't. There's no writing on the box to list ingredients , etc. When the box arrived there was no paperwork inside the box either. The outside of the box is really very plain and does not say much about the product. If I had encountered this in a store, I would have left it on the shelf. Unless you can contact the manufacturer you are not going to find out if it is BPA free. I'm sorry.

I think it is, but not 100% sure. There were no odors (as others claim). I have a few foam pads, and there is absolutely NO comparison with the quality of this pad. The consistency is very different and I don't think it poses any risks to my baby. He absolutely loves it and I wish I would've purchased sooner. Good luck.

I can't see anything on the box or the manual suggesting that it is BPA free. I also couldn't find anything online, sorry. It is approved by the FDA though :)

I had the same question and e-mailed customer service. This is their encouraging answer! Rarely can you get a reasonably priced item without flame retardants, BPA, PVC and phthalates! The board is still MDF, but maybe it can be sealed to reduce off-gassing or left out of your home for a few days. MDF is always a concern for VOC and formaldehyde emiting. Thank you for your e-mail and interest in Inglesina. 1.) The Fast chair is not treated with any flame retardants. 2.) The Fast Dinning Tray does not contain PVC, BPA, phthalates or lead. 3.) The seat support underneath is made of Medium Density Fiber Board. The other material of the Fast is the seat fabric made of polyester, foam that is polyesther and the bag that is made by nylon.

i emailed the company to ask, but from what i've read so far it seems to be as safe as plastic can be. i use a fat separator so infrequently, frankly i didn't obsess over it. probably as healthy as gravy LOL. FOLLOW UP: THE REPLY I GOT FROM THE OXO CUSTOMER SERVICE TODAY IS "Please be assured that our consumers' safety is a top priority during the development of our products. All OXO products are BPA, Phthalate, and PVC Free."

I have had the best luck with born free. They are BPA free and work great with babies with or without reflux issues.

The company told me that it is BPA free but not PVC free. It is made of PVC. They said that they do not add phalates, which has been the law since 2008, but it is made of PVC.

No. It has no smell. It has lovely material, and it is a little hard, but my son sleeps on it every night. It does not smell, and nothing in terms of hardness that a seven dollar egg crate mat didn't fix. I love it. I was so happy with it when it came on Christmas a year and a half ago.
