Has the claim in one review been verified concerning PVA in this toy? Is the level within government standards?

Based on the code on the toy we received (contrary to assurances otherwise on amazon's website) we determined the toy contained PVA. Amazon did give us a full refund and did not require us to return it ( that would have cost more than the toy was worth). It was disposed of in the trash.

Not so sure about it. But the plastic container is PP material, I think it's quite safe.

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.

Yeah. I am real and so is my review. I bought mine directly from the web site. I put a review there as well. I am very picky about the toys i buy my daughter and i stand behind my review of the fish garden. My daughter went from irresponsible to now focusing on taking care of this. It has her wanting me to start growing other fruits and veggies hydroponically now, too. I hope you seriously consider getting one.

Hi, although I researched these dolls some before buying, and thought I recall reading they had safe materials, I couldn't remember specifically. So I just looked up some discussions on this. One customer contacted Corelle, and this is the emailed reply: "Greetings, Thank you for you interest in Corolle. All vinyl dolls are made with PVC... Poly vinyl chloride. As for toy safety, it is not the PVC that is of concern but rather the "softener" that is used. Phthalates, as a PVC softener, have now been banded from use in products for children. Corolle uses a "citrus based softener". Corolle tests the product to EN-71 the mandatory European standard as well as ASTM and many other world testing standards. Corolle is proud that we have adhered to these standard long before they became mandatory. If I can be of further assistance in this matter, please call me at 203.454.0774 ext 2. Best regards, Beau James" _________________ So apparently they have reduced some toxic items, but not all. I could not find any info about BPA after several searches. Maybe you want to do more. But I still like this doll; my 1 & 1/2 yr-old granddaughter does not suck on any parts of it... She already had a cloth doll, which seem to be the safest. I just wanted her to have a real doll! Good luck with your decision! Hope I've helped.

I haven't had the previous customer problems with the glue or any paint chipping. I still keep it in it's original box for the grandchildren. Although made in China, the box states that it meets all US toy standards, if that is any help. I purchased this toy in late 2012 for Christmas.tomTOm

The CA Prop 65 warning indicates a product contains compounds that could cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm. I typically avoid anything that has that label associated with it. Before this product ever had this label, however, we purchased it for our children. I suspect that the plastic pieces, the magnets sandwiched between the plastic pieces, or even the glossy coating on the pattern cards are things that contain "less than desirable chemicals". Now for my most humblest of opinions...practically every toy for sale on amazon and in local stores probably qualify for that label. Whether it contains lead, or BPA, bromide, chloride, etc. Just because a toy doesn't have that warning doesn't mean it doesn't qualify. I looked everywhere on the packaging for this toy for the CA prop 65 warning and didn't find it. Unfortunately, one never truly knows what yucky chemicals are hiding in children's toys. If you want a truly non-toxic toy, you need to stick with unfinished wooden toys. Hopefully change is on the horizon for toy manufacturers.

I don't think so, It doen't said BPA/PVC free. and, these things from china, you know that.

The US Government's standards for what they do test are low. When they test something, there is no guarantee that all items of that nature also conform to that standard. They rely heavily on the companies testing it. Here is what parents can do. Go to a hardware store and buy a lead test. Buy items from local toystores that do their own testing. Buy things made for the EU market, where they have regulations on testing. Brands that are safe: Haba, Plan Toys, Kathe Kruse. PS: Another things to be on the lookout for are plastics. Avoid BPA and phthalates. BPA is in plastics with a recycling tag of 1, 5, 6 and 7. Never heat anything you will feed your child or yourself in plastics at all, especially those with BPA. It leaches stuff that acts like a hormone. Phthalates are substances that make plastics bendy, and heat or water will make that stuff easier to get into kids' systems (bathtubs, chewing, etc.). Hormones and such again, are the culprits. Avoid things like rubber duckies.

Don't know if it has any PVC. It's all hard plastic, the quality I would expect from Fisher-Price. Might try contacting Fisher-Price.

This is the best assurance I can give you! The toys are priced reasonably and appear to be the safest. http://wemakeitsafer.com/blog/2011/05/melissa-doug-score-high-marks-n-toy-safety/

Back of the package states meets or exceeds all US toy testing standards and pass high quality requirements, so that says to me that it doesn't contain lead. i would contact them directly if you still have concerns.
