Parents concerned about all the bad news pertaining to plastic toys, with their chemical loads of hormone-disrupting and possibly carcinogenic additives, can find refuge in a line of toys made by an environmentally minded U.S. toy company.<\/p>\n

San Francisco-based Green Toys Inc<\/a>., a company that constructs toys from recycled milk containers, is introducing a new line of toys for babies and toddlers at the\u00a0 Spielwarenmesse International Toy Fair in Nuremberg, Germany next week.<\/p>\n

\"Green<\/p>\n

Green Toys' new 18-block set for the very-much younger crowd<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The new line, called My First Green Toys\u2122 , will include seven new products, all made in California, with 100 percent post-consumer plastic that contains no BPA (Bisphenol A), phthlates or PVC (polyvinyl chloride).<\/p>\n

Available this spring, the line will include a Green Toys stacker, tugboat, blocks, feeding spoons, spoon and fork set and a plate and bowl set. Previous toys from Green Toys Inc., also have been made from recycled milk jugs, but were aimed at young children.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been deluged with requests for Green Toys brand products designed for infants and toddlers both in the US and abroad,\u201d said Robert von Goeben, president and co-founder of Green Toys Inc., in a news release. \u201cOur customers tell us they love Green Toys products because they know where the toys are made and exactly what they are made from. The My First Green Toys line allows us to offer the benefits of safe, environmentally-friendly products to a younger age group, while providing parents with peace of mind.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2009, Green Toys\u2122 brand products were featured in the Top 10 Toys of the Year in Disney FamilyFun Magazine, and the company received praise from Goddard Systems Inc.\u2019s Top 10 Eco-Friendly Toys of 2009<\/a>, and the American Specialty Toy Retailing Association (ASTRA), which honored it with a 2009 Best Toys for Kids Award.<\/p>\n

The packaging for Green Toys, made from recyclable corrugated materials, won a 2009 Greener Packaging Award.<\/p>\n

Green Toys Inc., was founded to create safe, classic toys in an environmentally responsible way that promotes recycling and reduces greenhouse gas emissions.<\/p>\n
