Question from jemcconaughy

Dear Debra,

I am curious to know your opinion on EcoSpun Fabrics, polyester fleece made from recycled water bottles. Are they harmful in anyway? Could a baby or child be harmed in anyway from wearing clothing made from these fabrics? Bedding and toys, included. Do the Pro’s outweigh the Con’s? Any and all information would be appreciated.

Thank You

Debra’s Answer

I wouldn’t put my baby around EcoSpun fabric. Plastic is plastic whether it is recycled or not.

I’m all for recycling plastic, but it should be made into products that are not close to the skin.
