Customer Review: Toxic Solvent Smell
Summary: 1 Stars
We are trying to limit our baby daughter's exposure to toxic chemicals and plastics (see [...] and their 10 Americans video).
I read the packaging on this item in the store, and it stated, "BPA Free! Phthalate Free!" BPA and phthalates are both chemicals that cause hormone problems in children. Hormones are those things in your body that tell you to grow and sexually mature, in addition to other critical functions. So you don't want any chemicals that are going to disrupt that system!
I was feeling pretty good about my purchase until I got them home and washed them in preparation for their first use. When I opened the cups up, there was a VERY strong smell of some kind of solvent, the kind a manufacturer might use to quickly clean things before packaging them up. It seemed to be concentrated in the silicone straw/valve assembly. Industrial solvents are typically petroleum based, and are EXTREMELY toxic. A petroleum-based solvent you may have heard of is gasoline. There are many others, but if you haven't had an organic chemistry class the names won't mean very much to you in terms of danger (xylene, toluene are a couple of the baddies). These kind of solvents cause cancer, neurological damage, reproductive harm, liver damage, you name it. Just read the back of a spray-paint can and you'll get the idea, because the solvent used to keep the paint flowing is what I'm talking about.
Babies have very small bodies, with organs that aren't mature yet, so exposure to chemicals is much more difficult for them to defend against than for adults. I will be calling Playtex to ask them to refund my money, as I will NOT use something that is potentially toxic when feeding my daughter!
