Yes the world is full of toxins, just as it is full of plastic, but that doesn't mean you have to just accept that and surround yourself in them. If you want to reduce your daughter's exposure to these things, then I say why not. You CAN buy more food that is not packaged in plastic. You CAN buy your daughter fewer plastic toys, more toys that have been tested and found to be safe(r) and more that are made of wood/ natural fabric. For example I had a lovely rubberwood dollhouse when I was little which I loved. There's an ever increasing supply of these types of toys too, as more people realise the dangers of all that plastic for themselves, their kids and for the planet.Don't let anyone's comments make you feel like you're being paranoid, I say well done for thinking about the long term health of your daughter.

I agree with this. Why is every other comment about this here like this: 'WELL THE WORLD CAN KILL YOU WHY SHOULD YOU CARE'? The OP clearly cares. Heck, I read the OP's post, had no idea about it, and I care! I have serious health issues and the less of that crap I'm around the better. Steps can be taken to reduce exposures, including with ponies, in the OP's cases. That is perfectly legitimate.
If anyone would like to safely dispose of their ponies in my childless household, just let me know!
If you are concerned about your baby maybe chewing on the ponies, give her soft plush ones until she is older not to do so.
QuoteIf you are concerned about your baby maybe chewing on the ponies, give her soft plush ones until she is older not to do so.Ah but stuffed animals contain polyester, or PET, made with things like anitmony which is toxic to the lungs heart liver and skin [skin cancer is the most common cancer in the US]. If you trust the government, the anitmony is deactivated, but how many recalls on products that were once deemed safe do we need to have before we stop trusting the government?
