| Abstract | The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is investigating the potential health risks to children under 3 years of age from teethers, rattles, and toys made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) containing a chemical DINP (diisononyl phthalate) used to make the PVC softer. Based on the work the staff has conducted and other scientific studies currently available, the staff concludes that few, if any, children are at risk from liver or other organ toxicity from the release of DINP from these products. The staff believes that uncertainties remain relating to estimations of risk, including the risk of cancer, and that additional studies are needed. |
