Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I had this very teether for my twin boys 8 years ago and they absolutely loved it. So, when my new baby started teething, I sought out the same teether. I was surprised when it arrived and the packaging stated that the product is, "safety tested" for BPA, lead, and phthalates. It does not state ANYWHERE on the package that it is BPA free. As a former regulator (of medical devices) I am very sensitive about company labeling and statements. Perhaps too much so. But, I would rather err on the side of caution where my child is concerned, and the lack of clear "BPA free" labeling on this product gives me pause. Specifically, when they test it for BPA, lead, and phthalates, is there an acceptable amount allowed?! If not, why wouldn't the company simply label the product as BPA, lead, and phthalate free? Eight years ago, when I gave this toy to my sons, no one had ever heard of BPA. My boys put all manner of plastic toys in their mouths, and I'm sure it was all riddled with BPA. But, in this day and age, when BPA is strongly suspected of being dangerous, I cannot in good conscience allow my new baby to chew on anything that MAY contain it. And, though someone on this site indicated that a representative from the company TOLD them it was BPA free, I'm still skeptical. Again, why not label it as such? Most companies proudly label their products with that simple language that cannot be confused.
