One in three toys tested was found to contain toxic chemicals such as lead, flame retardants and arsenic, according to a report issued Wednesday by an environmental group.

Researchers for the Michigan-based Ecology Center tested more than 1,500 popular toys for lead, cadmium, arsenic, PVC and other harmful chemicals. They said they found that one-third of the toys contain “medium” or “high” levels of chemicals of concern.

Unfortunately, many conventional teethers and pacifiers contain Bishpenol A or BPA which is a hormone disrupting chemical and is extremely harmful. Knowing a little bit about natural baby teethers and pacifiers will help in making a decision.

Natursutten Pacifiers are the only all natural organic pacifier and are our top pick. They are made from pure natural rubber from the tree Hevea brasiliensi. These pacifiers are softer than silicone and extremely hygienic because they are molded in one piece, with no joints or cracks where dirt and bacteria can accumulate.
