I emailed the company as well to find out if the balls contain latex and PVC. Here is the answer that I received from Black Mountain Products: "There are small traces of latex that may be found in our stability balls. We recommend those with severe allergies not to use the ball. Our balls are made with a PVC base." (2/24/14)

it is made of food grade HDPE plastic. i think that is automatically BPA free, but i don't know for certain.

I was looking for toys with no BPA, phthalates, PVC, or external coatings. It looks comparable but I could not say for sure. I believe the shape makes it easier to handle.

I doubt it. If it were, I'm sure they'd advertise! Try Green Toys, Green Sprout, or Boon bath toys. I believe those are all PVC, BPA, and phthalate free. Some Sassy toys are as well, you just have to check into certain models.

I'm not 100% certain, however, I do know it's Vinyl, PVC & Phthalate free. Hope that helps.

It's made in China. But the company, Crocodile Creek, lists these balls as made of synthetic and natural rubber, and contain no PVC, BPA, or vinyl- if any of those are a concern to you. You can find a list of safety compliance and place of manufacture at www.croccodilecreek.com/safety.html They list the product the manufacture and pdf's starting the compliance/regulations it meets, the manufacturer, and the third party tester.

for more detail I looked up Polypropylene specifically - Question was is polypropylene BPA free and the answer = YES. Polypropylene does not contain any of the following phthalates:Dibutyl, Benzylbutyl, Diisodecyl, Di-N-Hexyl, Bis-2-ethylhexyl.

I find it interesting that the website listing for this activity ball makes not mention of it, and people say neither does the packaging, but Walmart is saying that it is BPA free. Here is the manufacturer's website of this item, as I found that it didn't come up when I typed "Clack and Slide Activity Ball" and various other key word searches: http://www.kidsii.com/brightstarts/bright-starts-clack-slide-activity-ball Sadly, SafeMama says they have been getting conflicting reports regarding another item, and in the end, the company, Bright Starts, merely said "consumers can be assured that Kids II products comply with all existing and applicable U.S. and international standards for BPA and phthalates in our products". Hmmm, I guess take what you want from that answer.

It does not say "BPA-Free", so it is not. However, it specifies as "made from 100% FDA approved materials"l.
