Fisher-Price Baby's First Blocks

A: The F-P response states "We set a standard that polycarbonate cannot be used in product(s)... to be mouthed or touch food or made for a child < 3" My read is, that means, "yes, it is BPA-free." No?

A: We design and engineer thousands of toys and children’s products, and each model is evaluated to make sure it meets stringent safety standards. Our internal product safety procedures are designed to meet or exceed regulations and laws enforced by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and their regulatory counterparts around the world. In toys, BPA is most often found in a material called polycarbonate, which is a very strong and clear plastic that is used in many products to prevent them from shattering or breaking. We set a standard that polycarbonate cannot be used in any product that is intended to be mouthed or touch food or made for a child under the age of 3, with the exception of power adapters and DVDs. For products with polycarbonate, we continue to pursue viable alternatives. For a closer look at our commitment to making safe and sustainable products, you can the Citizenship section of Mattel’s website.
