After compiling a list of BPA pacifiers, I took the next step and moved on to teethers. I’ve done a little digging and these are what I found. Please note, this is not a comprehensive list, just the ones I have found. New BPA and phthalate-free products are coming out all the time and it’s getting hard to keep up, which is a good thing! If you are aware of another teether that is BPA and phthalate free and not listed here, please let me know and I will certainly add it!

I have had real trouble in the UK finding information on this. I think that you were much quicker than us at taking action. It is a great list and some of the brands are available over here. If I find any not on your list I will surely let you know.
Thanks
Wooden toys have continued to be a common part of childhood. By the 1700’s, German toymakers began to craft a variety of play figures from wood to sell to the general public. Salesmen would travel around Europe to market their popular wood toys, taking advance orders for special occasions. Almost life-like dolls and animals were becoming favorite playthings for children all over Europe.-
