| PhthalatesSafe™ Certified Defined |
In order to understand what PhthalatesSafe™ Certification is, you first have to understand what Phthalates are.
Phthalates, or phthalate esters, are esters of phthalic acid, a group of chemicals used as plasticizers to make plastics more flexible and durable. They are commonly found in various products, including plastic containers, toys, and personal care items.
Products that have been submitted to The Toy Man® Product Guide, passed the evaluation criteria, and if applicable, become recipients of the PhthalatesSafe™ Certification Seal.

| Did You Know? |
It is important to understand that there is no such thing as a product being Phthalates-Free. In actuality, "Phthalates-Free" is a term used in many industries just to sell a product. A good example is cosmetics. When you see the term "Non-Phthalates" or otherwise known as "Phthalates-Free", it simply means that Phthalates plasticizers are not used in the compound of the cosmetics or other products.
