I've recently discovered Good Guide, which ranks a huge database of products based on a number of factors, including health. I've been checking Good Guide for toxin information for toys that I want to get Nate as well as toys that we already own. Many times, I'm relieved to find that plastic toys I thought might give Nate a third arm are actually non-toxic. But other times, I find that toys that I thought were safe actually have toxins in them.
When I checked out HABA, I was relieved to find that many of their toys score a ten out of ten for health, like another one of Nate's favorites - Moby Clutching Toy
. But I was bummed to see that some of their toys contain low levels of bromine and arsenic, like the HABA Rolling Turtles
I had my eye on. Even if it's low levels, I can't stomach watching Nate put an arsenic laden toy in his mouth. If he's going to ingest poison, it will be to help his teething symptoms, not for FUN.
Boo, HABA!
