| The Safe Sippy - BPA and Phthalate Free Sippy Cup - 6+ MonthsThe safe sippy is made of stainless steel and BPA / Phthalate Free Plastic. The spout is made from toxin-free silicone and is a round straw shaped opening which is better for developing mouths than the traditional wide sippy spouts. The inner sleeve of the lid is made from #5 plastic which is certified BPA free. The Safe Sippy was consciously designed to have the plastic parts and the liquid to make minimal contact. The handles are removeable and the center is tapered so that little hands can grab on when you take the handles off. The tapering also insures the steel won't dent when dropped. The rubbery sleeve around the cup is made from thermo plasicized rubber which helps keep cold drinks cold and hot drinks hot, and also protects the cup when dropped. The majority of the interior of the cup is stainless steel with the exception of the area around the lid which is completely free of BPA and is stringently tested. The Safe Sippy is machine washable. Why Stainless over Plastic? The Safe Sippy™ stainless steel drink cup was created in response to the growing body of emerging scientific evidence about the dangers of toxic chemicals used to make many plastics. We chose stainless steel because it is clean, stable and durable. Because stainless steel is stable and inert, it does not interact with the foods and fluids it comes into contact with. So what you put in is what you get out. When plastic is heated – in the dishwasher, microwave or even in a hot car – chemicals leach out of the plastic into our foods. The entire list of negative health effects associated with these chemicals is too long to cover here, and The Safe Sippy™ stainless steel cup is only one small step in stemming their flow. But it is well known that chemicals such as Bisphenol A [BPA] and the class of chemicals known as phthalates have the most damaging effects on little bodies that are still developing. The list of health problems associated with these substances is long and growing. They include: developmental problems; ADHD; premature sexual maturation in young females; breast tumors in women; particularly virulent forms of prostate cancer; reproductive problems in both sexes; learning disabilities; kidney damage; liver cancer and much more. $4.95 for orders under $25. $6.95 for orders from $25-$124.99.
