are these dolls phthalate-free?

The head is a formed polyvinyl, I assume. It is not a sculpted head made from fabric like used to be available about 30 years ago.

The box says "All New Materials", polyester fibers, polyvinyl chloride beads in the stuffing. If there are specific questions the box says to contact JAKKS Pacific at jakks.com, at consumers@jakks.com or call 877-875-2557. There is also a "fresh baby powder scent " on the doll.

Hi Lauren - from what I know in the description, it states, "Material Type: Phthalate Free, Latex Free, Lead Free, BPA Free". Hope this helps!

I think they were but bought this as a gift for 3 year old niece - the put the set on her birthday cake. I know they were plastic, not ceramic or anything like that. They were like the Smurf figures that kids play with. Hope this helps.

It says they are phthalate free on the description above. (By the way, why do people answer that they don't know if they don't know? That's a non-answer, isn't it?)

Hi, although I researched these dolls some before buying, and thought I recall reading they had safe materials, I couldn't remember specifically. So I just looked up some discussions on this. One customer contacted Corelle, and this is the emailed reply: "Greetings, Thank you for you interest in Corolle. All vinyl dolls are made with PVC... Poly vinyl chloride. As for toy safety, it is not the PVC that is of concern but rather the "softener" that is used. Phthalates, as a PVC softener, have now been banded from use in products for children. Corolle uses a "citrus based softener". Corolle tests the product to EN-71 the mandatory European standard as well as ASTM and many other world testing standards. Corolle is proud that we have adhered to these standard long before they became mandatory. If I can be of further assistance in this matter, please call me at 203.454.0774 ext 2. Best regards, Beau James" _________________ So apparently they have reduced some toxic items, but not all. I could not find any info about BPA after several searches. Maybe you want to do more. But I still like this doll; my 1 & 1/2 yr-old granddaughter does not suck on any parts of it... She already had a cloth doll, which seem to be the safest. I just wanted her to have a real doll! Good luck with your decision! Hope I've helped.

Hi! Did you ever find out the answer to your question, as I am wondering the same thing....or were you able to find one that is phthalate free?

I was looking for toys with no BPA, phthalates, PVC, or external coatings. It looks comparable but I could not say for sure. I believe the shape makes it easier to handle.

I'm sure they are supposed to be. But even things labeled "non-toxic" have quite a bit of allowance for toxins in the product. Toys painted with milk paints and/or sealed with things like beeswax are probably safest.However, I don't know anything about the paint on this particular product.

LMGTFY. According to the FAQ on the Prince Lionheart website- all their products are BPA and phthalate free.

Absolutely not. The doll I received had a very subtle scent of baby powder just like a real baby. It became my granddaughter's favorite doll last year and remains her favorite. I got the boy doll.

No not really.. My 3 granddaughters loved their dolls when they got them last Christmas. They are now 5 years old.

No, they do not. However, the eyes are beautiful and the eyelashes are just like the ones the other dolls have. I really liked the purchase and my granddaughter loves it.

Yes and they move very easily especially as compared to other all-vinyl baby dolls-Lola is a very sweet happy baby and a perfect size, great quality from JC.

Snapware states that all their products are BPA-free. I found no statement about phthalate,, though (which is, I think, what you are referring to). I don't use these containers for food, but to organize small household items. For this purpose I have been very pleased with Snapware stackable containers.

I contacted learning resources last week to ask about BPA and phthalates. Here is the response I received. Thank you for contacting Learning Resources/Educational Insights. We take safety very seriously and all of our products meet or exceed safety standards with our high standards for toy safety. All products are phthalate-free, lead-free and are made of PVC and low density polyethylene. Our products do not contain BPA. Our toys are evaluated against the standards set forth by the Consumer Products Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA). This includes testing for certain phthalates (a plasticizer used to make plastic soft), lead in paint, lead in substrate and compliance with the testing guidelines set forth by ASTM F-963.
