Baby Products Reviews of Boon Bath Goods
Customer Review: Great toys - however the balls are made from PVC and contain phthalates
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased these bath toys recently. The toys are fantastic. The foam pieces stick to the tiles and kids love to stick them up and take them back down again. It comes with 15 sticky foam toys, two scrubbies and three balls. I also purchased the toy bug which stores the toys (which is also great).
One point to be aware of is that the set contains three balls which are made from PVC and contain small amounts of phthalates (chemicals which are linked to developmental disorders). The toys still pass new federal toy standards and safety standards in CA. Despite this, Boon (who seem great and proactive in these types of matters) are currently releasing a new version where the three balls do not contain phthalates. All of the other toys in the set are safe and BPA and phthalate free.
Just make sure the set you buy is one of the newer ones without the PVC balls.
Customer Review: Foam pieces emit awful chemical smell
Summary: 2 Stars
We have a number of plastic boon bath toys and really like them. They are stylish and fun and more importantly are all BPA, pthalate, and PVC free.
However, these foam shapes emitted such an awful chemical smell when I opened the package, that I could not convince myself that they are truly non-toxic and safe for small kids to play with - especially in the bath tub where warm water may accelerate leaching out of chemicals.
Perhaps the smell fades over time or can be washed out, but I wasnt interested in finding out.
One other side note - The balls that come with this product are not made out of silicone as stated in the product description. They used to be made out of PVC but are now made out of EVA plastic (according to Boon customer service).
Customer Review: Good and different bath toy that baby loves!
Summary: 4 Stars
These foamy odd-shaped different colored bath toys are absolutely loved by my 6 month old son. He loves the balls that come with the set as well. He wants to play with every piece he happens to see, so even if he's already got a ball in one hand and another toy in the other he will try to grab a third! The only thing I noticed negative about them was that many of the shapes have long skinny parts that my son had gagged on once or twice, so I only let him play with the few more rounded ones for now until he gets a bit older. Other than that, great bath toys - easy to clean up since they don't retain water or even drip much and the baby is fascinated by them.Customer Review: The best bath activity EVER!
Summary: 5 Stars
LOVE THIS! My son likes to stand and try to climb out of the tub. I've tried numerous toys to try to keep his attention with no avail. He received these for his 1st birthday and not only does he stay in the tub now, sometimes he even sits down to play with them! He has had these for a month now & they still keep him occupied. He loves to stick these all over the tub walls and the tile. The quality is EXCELLENT. I was afraid that my little guy would chew right through these, but they've held up wonderfully to his mouthful of choppers. I wish I had these months ago!Customer Review: Chemical smell too strong, couldn't use with 14m baby
Summary: 1 Stars
I received this item in March 2011. As soon as I opened the package I could smell a very strong chemical-like smell that seemed to have permeated all of the contents. The smell reminded me a bit of a varnish-y type of smell, and was so strong that I could not imagine being able to wash it off. I returned this item as the scent was so strong that I was not comfortable giving it to my 14 month old to use in the bath. The designer applique aspect of these toys only warrants it getting a rating of the (required) one star in my opinion, as the smell makes them unusable.
