Haven't a clue!!!! Don't think that customs checks ANYTHING for toxic chemicals !!! Somebody SHOULD!!!! We'd probably ALL be healthier !!!!!!!

This toy is made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride), although according to the manufacturer, it is phthalates free. Thank you for shopping with DGS Novelties!

They arent specifically listed on the package. It says that it's a "fine Earth clay that air dries hard." It also lists that it confirms to toxicity laws and is non-toxic, as other crayola kids products do.

Unfortunately all freshly manufactured toys come with this smell. The manufacturer uses safe, non toxic phthalate free materials. We recommend using a sex toy cleaner before and after use. With time the smell will fade

Back of the package states meets or exceeds all US toy testing standards and pass high quality requirements, so that says to me that it doesn't contain lead. i would contact them directly if you still have concerns.

I'm not aware, but I will check. However, I do not like the frustration free packing for childrens toys. It takes away from the majic of the child umwraping the gift and seeing a cardboard box. The gift hs to be taken out of containor and if given outside of the home it is more of a hassle to get it back into box. I actually thought about returning it and buying one in maunfacturer packaging. What did you do about the batteries. Is amazon supplying them?

Because apparently it has "hazardous materials" in it. The only thing it has in it are those packets that keep things fresh that you arent supposed to eat (lol) and batteries. Its a weak excuse. Its probably more because they are unreliable and don't want to deal with returns.

I do not know why it shows up in the organic doll searches. It is not made of organic materials.

Considering that Baby Einstein has already had a toy recalled for toxic levels of lead (blue block in their Discover & Play Color Blocks), even if they aren't listing the toxins in their toys directly, they are a suspect company. One boy was suspected of being poisoned by these blocks when no other lead-containing items were found in the house. Besides, lead, PVC, and BPA (which you probably get more from in canned foods anyway) aren't the only toxins in toys and other household objects. Many have toxic levels of antimony, bromine, barium (Melissa & Doug has had two recalls in Canada for this), cadmium, arsenic and mercury. I mostly deny my kids the pleasure of putting any toys in their mouths excessively, but if you want to feel a bit safer about toys, try plugging individual toys/companies into HealthyToys.org or www.goodguide.com. You'll get a better feel for who has repeat offenses. I wouldn't trust anything a manufacturer tells you anyway. They have no intention of pulling dangerous toys or disclosing information unless they're forced to by law. Saying that, we own this toy, as it was gifted before we knew what we know now. The kids love to dance to it. I consider it hazardous for the kids to put in their mouths. I imagine it's not doing a lot of damage just being held. And it does play pleasing music :)

The colored seals you see in the picture are either a soft plastic or rubber and if I remember the packaging I think it said BPA free but I think it was talking about the stainless steel. If you're worried about the rubber or possibly sharp edges (someone else commented on possibly sharp edges) then I would remove the rubber bit and before giving them to your kids you can take the mold and plate off the stick ...this way the parts also don't go missing.

I am so sorry..I did not see this in my inbox...I gave the set as a gift so I do not know. Melissa and Doug take their toymaking seriously, so if anyone is still using BPA, I doubt it would be them

It may contain lead... shocking, most things do.... however the CPSC, Consumer Products Safety Commission, limits the amount that is an acceptable level to 100ppm (parts per million). Having worked in the toy industry, i can attest that this item has undergone product testing, and would not be allowed on amazon if they do not provide passing reports.Also, I saw that someone else commented that theirs stopped working shortly after purchase, and I must think it was just a faulty item. We've had ours for almost a year, its been used pretty much daily. 2 year old just banging on the keys and it is still going strong. The only thing is that now the mic is a little muffled, which honestly is not a bad thing ....

I believe they are petroleum wax based, ie not beeswax. As with most kids' products, they don't list ingredients, just say "non-toxic." I believe some people believe buying from Europe is safer than buying Chinese art supplies, since at least in Europe, manufacturing is more closely regulated, whereas in China, it's perceived to be a bit of a free-for-all.

BPA stands for bisphenol A. BPA is an industrial chemical that has been used to make certain plastics and resins since the 1960s. Exposure to BPA is a concern because of possible health effects of BPA on the brain, behavior and prostate gland of fetuses, infants and children. I ALSO WANT TO KNOW IF THE TOYS ARE BPA FREE!

I have no idea...threw away all packaging long ago. Child is not sick from chewing on pieces or 'kissing' the toy. I'm trusting that all is okay.
