Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I got this in a pinch to put in my daughter's toy kitchen. It is very cute, easy to assemble and sturdy, except it has one flaw and it's a dealbreaker. This is made of PVC, Polyvinyl chloride. It's a plasticizer. My first first review was blocked as it contained a very concerning link to a state government health department website, not California in fact. I will only say that I found that link after a very brief search.. PVC is a major source of phthalates which have been banned from children's toys. Phthalates disrupt hormones and have been linked to birth defects in baby boys, testicular cancer, liver problems, and early onset of puberty in girls – which is a risk factor for later-life breast cancer. PVC also may contain dangerous chemical additives like lead, cadmium, and/or organotins, which can leach out or evaporate into the air over time. I take issue with the fact that I purchased this item partly because it is described on the page as SAFE and I was short on time so I went ahead and bought it. Whereas in fact the word safe it seems, should not be present. Instead, I would appreciate a disclaimer about PVC so that customers like me can make informed decisions. IN CONCLUSION: NO. I DON'T RECOMMEND!!!
