What are these made of? Specifically, does anyone know if they contain PVC, BPA, phthalates, etc?

It doesn't say anything on the box what the animals are made of. I would think that if it didn't have chemicals many parents try to avoid they would clearly say so. There was also a very strong chemical smell when we opened the box, but I put them outside and then washed them and the smell went away. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful..

The ad states that they are BPA-free. My guess is that they are not phthalate-free. If they were, I believe that the company wold have advertised them as such, since this would be a great (profitable) selling point. Best to just call/email the company and ask...

I believe they are. Most of OXO's products that will contain food steer clear of BPA, PVC and phthalates.

BPA and PVC free. Unfortunately, it doesn't say anything about formaldahyde.

I am fairly confident that these containers do not contain bpa. The recycling code marked on the containers is a 5, which indicates polypropylene. According to Wikipedia, "plastics that are marked with Resin Identification Codes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are very unlikely to contain BPA. Some, but not all, plastics that are marked with the Resin Identification Code 7 may be made with BPA."[40]

I don't believe so. I'm pretty sure they're made of polypropylene only. There was no mention of BPA at the time of my purchase. I would definitely check with the seller to be 100% certain though. Good luck! :)

They are made of a type of plastic. They are very robust as I am using 6 pieces and have had no problems with them.

The box info says they are made of Food Grade Resins. According to all info I can find, that means no BPA toxins of any kind.

Yes they are Phthalate Free. Under Product Information, it states that material type is "Phthalate Free, BPA Free".

This is a response I received to that question and made my DIL very happy: Erin said on January 21, 2014Update: I wrote the company asking them what this product was made out of and they kindly responded with the following: "All InterDesign products are BPA free. This product is made of PVC and it's Phthalate free."Thanks everyone for your answers!Erin

I know they are BPA free plastic, I don't know if it's this specific kind you mentioned.

Yes! I bought 2 of these and the package says they are BPA, PVC, and Phthalate free.

I do not see anything on the label that indicates what the bags are made out of since they are not used for food. Many food bags now state that they are BPA free but I am unaware of any concerns with pvc. You can contact the manufacturer at http://nancysilver.com. The label claims that this is the same technology used by NASA, The Guggenheim Museum and jewelry manufactures worldwide and they have worked for me!

I understand your concern, I'm sure you've noticed that these plates are free of Phthalate, BPA, Latex, PVC, Nitrosamine but they don't list "polypropylene" which can leach hormone-disrupting chemicals into the food. You could query the manufacturer but the bottom line is ALL plastic items have the potential to leach chemicals into our food and drink. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

It says they are phthalate free on the description above. (By the way, why do people answer that they don't know if they don't know? That's a non-answer, isn't it?)

To be honest I do not know the answer to your question. That is a good question though, and I hope it does not contain this substance, because I looked up what phthalates is and realized it is a substance that may cause health problems. I can tell you though that I am very satisfied with the mats so far. I do high intensity workouts on the mats and they are serving their purpose. Sorry I couldn't answer your question.
