Question from Miemiemuis

Do you know what the bright colored foam squares are made of that are often used as a soft surface for babies and children to play on. The bag says ‘non-toxic’, but not what it’s made of. I bought these a long time ago and am trying to decide whether to continue using them or not.

Thanks,

Marie

I suggest that you call the manufacturer and find out. A lot of foam is polyurethane foam, which outgasses toxic fumes. But not necessarily. Find out from the manufacturer and let me know, and I will tell you if it’s safe. BTW, there is no legal definition for the word “nontoxic” on a label, so it’s always a good idea to find out exactly what the materials are.
