In this day and age, many chemicals are being used in children's products that can pose health risks. Two such chemicals are Bisphenol A and phthalates. Both chemicals can mess around with the normal function of hormones in the human body. This Guide to Safer Children's Products was developed by the Institute for Agriculture & Trade Policy. It aims to help parents,  child care providers and other service providers learn about man-made chemicals commonly used in children's products (and how to avoid them), and provides a list of safer products ranging from baby bottles, utensils, pacifiers, teethers and more.

NOTE: The Children's Health & Environment Partnership of Manitoba does not recommend or endorse commerical brands of products. However, we are providing this information to you from a source that has undertaken its own research into consumer products on the basis of environmental, health and safety criteria. We encourage you to be discerning and if you have specific questions about the products listed in this guide, please contact the source directly.
