Why choose PVC-free?
Like most parents, we assume that if a product for children is in a store, it should be safe.
But we have all heard of the many recalls for toys because of dangerous amounts of lead found in them. Lead naturally occurs in trace amounts throughout our environment. Besides lead found in paint, lead also ends up in vinyl, otherwise known as polyvinyl chloride or PVC. PVC, also known as the poison plastic is extremely harmful to our health and the environment and is linked to cancer and birth defects. Disturbingly, it is still used in many products for children.
And in lunch bags, specifically, it can be found in the lining which has direct contact with food, and is often used as a coating on polyester and nylon fabrics for durability. Milkdot products are PVC-free and tested lead-safe.
