Living with phthalates The level of danger is largely unknown, unstudied and unreported, which is particularly alarming as it would be difficult to avoid them as phthalates have been widely used for over 50 years and are found in developed communities throughout the world and in the environment. It would appear that we are probably past the point of no return with phthalates and we'll have to live with their impact on future generations (just as with DDT the now banned pesticide once commonly used and thought to be safe). Where babypotsTM comes in As a means to limit our exposure as much as possible there are many steps we can take, one of them being to avoid plastics where another safe alternative exists. This is why Babypots was created to offer a safe functional alternative specifically designed for babies and infants.       < back
