I would trust Amazon. The balls are a great value and most items for children are , now, Phthalate Free

I assumed it was NOT when nothing was written on the packaging, but because my kids wouldn't be mouthing it I did not pursue the answer by calling the company.

I doubt. The bag (it's not only packaging, you suppose to store the balls in it) is made of PVC according to the label which is obviously not. The item itself does not tell (no a single label or recycling sign) what it is made of, but you can imagine the mentality of this manufacturer if they supplied these balls in a bag made of PVC(!!!). Everyone knows the negative health effects of PVC on kids (and adults, too...), so if they didn't care with the bag, why would they with the balls?my 2 cents.

I , also, called the toll-free # w/ same results as other caller(s). My dogs have never had an issue w/ these specific treats & one of them has really bad digestive issues...I just do't give him any of the "red" coloured snacks, as these seem to cause a lot of gas/bloating= could be the red food coloring used? Great question!

Okay, so I spoke with someone at Phytospecific, explained my hit or miss experience , and informed the of the disparity between the two packages and the drastically different results. She advised one that if the product has a dry crust on the top of the cream portion of the relaxer to NOT use!!! This due to oxidation and it is not advisable to put it in your hair. I told her that if that is the case it should be clearly written on the packaging so that consumer are aware. I've been hearing a lot about people receiving packages that are NOT sealed. DO NOT USE!!!!. I've come to the conclusion that it's best to purchase this product from authorized retailers. Sephora , Ulta, Neiman Marcus,Nordstoms etc. I'm gonna do the same and post my next results here. Hope this helps! Eve

I'm sorry. I bought these quite some time ago and I don't know anything about such claims, or allegations they are not true. Just don't u anything about that at all. I ordered them because of not containing sulfites and at a time I could not get my favorite brand which is Honest Earth which we like quite a bit. I don't use a lot of processed food items, but these are convenient to have on hand in the pantry. It can be difficult to navigate around the food industry and labeling. I guess I could have as helpfully just clicked the "Don't know" button.

I was concerned about this as well so I contacted the company, and this was their response: "Take a look at your links and on one of them you will see a very small engraving of 3 characters. It will consist of 2 letters and 1 number. I apologize in advance as the lettering is small. If the last number is a `9', `0', or `1' the links are BPA free. Yes, our products are latex free. Any of our products manufactured in 2009 or later are also BPA free. The products will contact a small percentage of phthalates. Although contained, it is an amount approved and tested to be safe for use by baby."I purchased these links, and the last number on them was a 0 so they are BPA free. :) I was concerned about this as well so I contacted the company, and this was their response: "Take a look at your links and on one of them you will see a very small engraving of 3 characters.

honestly, I have no idea. They came in a shipping box with the product name on the outside, they were packed in tight plastic wrapping, i have used most of them already, my dog goes through them pretty quickly. Others say they are thin and leak, the ones I got seem fine, they occasionally leak through but that's after a long night and probably because he would have peed on them twice. Judging by other reviews, It seems maybe this company has different quality pads and sometimes people get the cheaper version, I don't know. There is no information on the grams of fill, the plastic packages didn't really have any writing on them. honestly, I have no idea.

Hi Kristen, We only use food grade materials in our products and partnered with a manufacturer to make a BPA-free product, which also happens to be phthalate free. Happy ordering! And for more information if you're curious (as I am!): I'm pretty sure you can't use phthalates in US food product manufacturing. Our product is polyester (for flexibility), nylon (for durability) and a food grade sealant. Polyester (sometimes called PET) is a bit of a misnomer because people can confuse it with a phthalate due to its chemical name. I decided to get to the bottom of this and found several helpful sources in my own research. Perhaps you'd be interested in reading this one: http://www.petcore-europe.org/content/does-pet-contain-phthalates or this one: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1367856/ Best, Brandon

I ordered directly from PCA a few years back and saved the box's that the product came in, just incase I would be abke to reorder. None if the boxes have a date stamped on tge bottem. I looked up when I ordered the collagen and I had saved that box as well. I ordered through amazon and there is a date stamped on the bottom of the box 1212. Never noticed and wouldn't have even thought about the product being a fake.

I think they were labeled lead free on the box. I no longer have the box but they must have been as I would not have used them without that assurance.

I doubt it. If it were, I'm sure they'd advertise! Try Green Toys, Green Sprout, or Boon bath toys. I believe those are all PVC, BPA, and phthalate free. Some Sassy toys are as well, you just have to check into certain models.

I would REALLY like to help you - but this is VERY hard to tell - the imprint is just the plastic imprinted with lots of stuff on the bottom of the bottle and its TINY! The stamped numbers on the bottom are the only thing that is ink and readable by my (must be) old eyes! I am sorry - If I had a crayon, I'd try to take a rubbing, but no such luck! We do like these and I think that they are at least BPA free since I do not buy anything w/o knowing it is BPA free - but I really don't remember if this was PP or LDPE-free - I'm sorry!

I just checked the Rubbermaid website in the FAQs under these trays in the product section and THESE TRAYS ARE BPA and phthalate free. And considering that, PVC seems very unlikely. I'd email Rubbermaid if you need more info. Happy to help.

All of them that I have bought were BPA free. However, I assumed they all had the new easy clean lids now and ordered some that didn't specifically say they had those lids. They did not have the easy clean lids. To be honest, it doesn't make much difference. Even with the easy clean lid, I find you still need the little brush to get in to clean the opening and seal, but I still think they are totally worth it. I gave a lot of these for Christmas this past year. We use and wash them everyday.To the person that said their's didn't last 45 minutes, were they the plastic ones? I bought some of those before too and they are terrible about keeping it hot, but the metal ones keep my coffee hot/warm for several hours. All of them that I have bought were BPA free.

I wasn't here when they arrived. I sent them to a neighbor for his dogs, so I never saw the packaging. I can look at the packaging in a day or so and see what it states. Send me your e-mail and I'll be happy to let you know. Mine is indianal@hotmail.com.
