My guess is, unless your child is sucking on the furniture, the immediate harm to individuals is small. Any hand contact with the chair could potentially leave undesirable substances on the hands though. I personally would probably get rid of them, but it depends on how easily you can replace them.Betsy Escandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13598482569526345086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-264294700715447531.post-38445917325350485402016-08-18T14:23:09.919-07:002016-08-18T14:23:09.919-07:00Is there a danger with outdoor furniture?

I still just steer clear of PVC all together b/c there are still the issues with manufacturing and disposal, but phthalate-free PVC is definitely better than PVC with phthalates (this comes up a bit in the yoga mat post, where I discuss so-called "clean PVC").Betsy Escandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13598482569526345086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-264294700715447531.post-67315548561662372402013-10-09T02:11:15.942-07:002013-10-09T02:11:15.942-07:00What about phthalates free PVC?
