I'm planning to use these for a science class, but can't find safety info for parents. Can you help? How much of each chemical is on each strip?

The Center for Precollegiate Education and Training at the University of Florida has a lesson plan and information on the chemicals. Search this sentence: "Ingesting too much PTC at once can cause thyroid damage, which is why it's important to limit the students' access to the taste strips."

Hey I'm sorry but I don't know the answer to that. I purchased these for my niece. Looking at it a little bit closer you could probably cut them into three different strips. I hope this helps.

its better to use this and make the oil and put in a glass spray bottle. i spray it on my belly and my son's belly(he is 6) so yes very safe and good for kids. im aslo prego so still very safe. but our body doesnt make this mineral and our food and soil is so depleted from all the chemicals this is the best way to get the most out of this mineral! i use this website to make my oil, its very easy! http://modernalternativepregnancy.com/2012/09/23/how-to-make-magnesium-oil/#.VEVMkPnF9ws

very good question. unfortunately, I put the strips in the kit that came with monitor and discarded box when everything arrived. I do not know the expiry date. Next time I will be sure to look for this.

I believe they are petroleum wax based, ie not beeswax. As with most kids' products, they don't list ingredients, just say "non-toxic." I believe some people believe buying from Europe is safer than buying Chinese art supplies, since at least in Europe, manufacturing is more closely regulated, whereas in China, it's perceived to be a bit of a free-for-all.

I don't think so, the PH range on these strips is 6.2 to 8.4. These strips are very good but not for the PH range you're looking for.

I totally agree with Lizzy. I am a Nanny, girls in my care received this product for their 3rd birthday. They absolutely love the Sands Alive, but I have concerns for product ingredients, as the ingredients are not listed on the box which we do still have, all that is stated is "Note-Sands Alive! is made from all natural, organic materials and can vary slightly in color and texture." This product is U.S. Patent but Made in South Korea with a Foreign patents pending as stated on the box as well. So let's say one of the children in my care develops an allergy or somehow it is ingested maybe not intentionally but because the product is on their hands or gets into their eyes and child has to be taken to the hospital, what would we tell poison control or the emergency room and I have researched on line, there are no answers to be found about the chemical compounds or ingredients. Is this something parents really want their children to be playing with, I feel the product needs more disclosure information.

Lori-Sorry, I can't answer this right now; but if you look on the page, at the bottom should be a "Details" section that will show the ingredient breakdown for these.

I am not sure. But one thing I do know being the grandma is they play with them outside all the time. So sturdy. Not to sure what chemicals u r talking about. Just know they r a great grade of plastic. Kids even run over them with their jeeps and it doesnt faze them. Sorry I am not much help

Just a heads-up for parents. Just because a product passes US standards for any chemical does not mean it is free of that chemical. For instance, many children's wooden toys that are painted have some lead in the paint but it is the amount allowed by law. Still, if your child were to eat that paint, he or she would be ingesting lead. I say this hear because I am not sure that this product is truly BPA free. It sounds like it meets the US standards but if it is truly BPA free, then why don't they list that under their product specs here on Amazon? Worth questioning.

Hmmmm good question no idea. The box is labeled with the ASTM D 4236 how this does not men it is not non toxic rather that it conforms to the art usage codes set forth by the American Standard institute being acceptable for use as an art product. So you my want to research it yourself . I would say it was probably ok to use with 6yo children and older but would not use it where young children would ingest the ink.

I do not have the slip anymore with the information on it but here is a basic list for most. Water, corn stretch, corn syrup, corn syrup solids, cellulose, sorbitol, sugar, vanilla, glycerine, vegetable oil, citric acid, arabic gum, polysorbrate and titanlum dioxide. You can also visit the site and ask them if you want the exact list of what they use. I hope this helps.

Fabulous... I just read up on the arsenic. So... All things in moderation and our kids could be ok with the lower consumption rate. But succors aren't ever really healthy anyway. Why does our FDA allow our kids to be poisoned without any warning labels?!?! Grrrr!!!!

Well I found a lot more items the last 2 minutes... nothing official, but I also found others things (non-flammable included) that are also banned (non-flammable break cleaner here on amazon)Also banned from sale there are:Portable Fire ExtinguishersCologne for Men and WomenAlso found it might be for chemical substances in general.... nothing solid though and I don't care so much about it to do anything more :)TTT (take to top)

Well here's the data from the material safety data sheet: Ingredient Name % by weight CAS # Exposure Limits Active Ingredients: 2-Phenethyl propionate 2.0% 122-70-3 None established Clove oil 1.0% 8000-34-8 None established Rosemary oil 1.0% 8000-25-7 None established Peppermint oil 1.0% 8006-90-4 None established Thyme oil 0.5% 8007-46-3 None established Inert Ingredients: Proprietary blend of emulsifiers and solvents to 100% - None established From what I can tell if the kids aren't allergic to anything above, I would think it would be safe to use, it works great in my opinion, just smells heavily of cloves. Overall you get used to it and it's pretty safe to use.

The best answer I can give, is that the directions included with the product are very good. I took it to a pill and spa store and they were able to get me everything I needed.I use mps, after each use, and shock occasionally. I use the frog strips for testing the ph and alkalinity. What I like best about this product is that I have little to no chlorine odor and the water feels soft. Be sure to keep up on all your chemical maintenance though, as this is not a once and done system. I'm sure it takes just as much involvement as other standard systems, but with no chlorine to eat away at the insides of your spa.
