Is the paint used on these trains non toxic?

I'm sure they are supposed to be. But even things labeled "non-toxic" have quite a bit of allowance for toxins in the product. Toys painted with milk paints and/or sealed with things like beeswax are probably safest.However, I don't know anything about the paint on this particular product.

In short, no, the toys are rigorously tested by US standards. I can't make you feel better about the labor practices, and most toys are made in China,but I'm fairly certain these are made with regulated non-toxic paint.

If you like the look and smell of burning/peeling paint, go right ahead! I'm not sure how people use the grill (even with a hot plate) without noticing the paint that burns off, peels, and emits. The company will not say whether or not the coating is toxic. The cancer warning on the box is a dead give away...

Yes, I removed mine last week (for reasons unrelated to the product) and the paint is fine. It is not a reusable product, however.

Just because it is stainless steel does not mean that it is safe. It must have a flat bottom for good even contact or warping can occur. Painted bottoms can stain smooth top ranges when over heated also.

Samantha, I have used these tapes & removed them. I do not have them on any painted surfaces. I would guess they would not harm any painted surfaces

According to the label: Modified Carbonyldiamide Crystal, Special Glycols, Non-Ionic Surficants Accelerants, Proprietary Traction Agents, and Special Inhibitors. It is also supposed to be environmentally safe and non-corrosive. Thus far, I have not had a problem. Hope this helps.

I have no idea if the toy train in BPA free....but I would not give any of these trains to a child that still puts things in it's mouth anyway. Wait six months or a year...then get them.

I am not sure of what wood it is made out of because I ordered it and had it sent to my granddaughter in Sedona , Arizona. But since my son and daughter in law are into all things organic so I am sure it had no toxic paints or glue.

They say low odor/non toxic on the markers but they do have a slight odor to them. Hope this helps.

I don't know for sure but I am pretty sure the paint does not come off if they somehow get wet. This company makes high quality wooden toys.

Staight from the company, these are made from PVC and polyethylene plastic. They claim they are phthalate free and BPA free. Many reviews reported an off-gassing smells out of the box. If these have a bad smell then something in the plastic is breaking down and releasing chemicals. I'm sorry to say, but if these are made with PVC then they are NOT SAFE. Maybe by US standards but I highly doubt they would pass in Europe. They may have been able to make the PVC without phthalates but they must have had to find a suitable plasticizer replacement. This replacement just isn't a known toxin YET. The same goes for BPA. A replacement has been found that is just as toxic so companies can use the replacement and label the product BPA free. Just remember where plastic comes from...petroleum. There is no getting around it. Plus, polyethylene terephthalate or PET (if that is the one they use) can leach a toxic heavy metal called antimony. Most problems occur with plastic as it ages which doesn't take long. So, do your homework and don't take the companies word for it! Stick with wood toys with water based paint.

I think it is supposed to be non-toxic. That's the green part. Not sure if the materials that make it up are green. Didn't like it. I found Healthy Legend cookware to be incredible.

I've looked at the paper work and it says that liquitex is among the first artist material manufacture to list toxicity information on its paint labels. I have looked at the bottles and can't figure out what the toxicity is. Each color has different codes to them not smart enough to know what they all mean. There is a web site www.lequitex.com that might help or there is a phone number 1-888-4-acrylic that might be able to answer your questions. I have used them a lot and like them because I am sensitive to fumes/smell and can hardly tell that there are any at all. I had to stop using folk art paints and other brand like it because the fumes and smell were so bad they made me ill. So if it is the fumes/smell that bothers you this would be a good choice. I am very happy with this purchase and have purchased them again.

It is non-toxic and is fine with the delicate parts of my steam cleaner. I think it would be fine!
