At the same time I think I prefer my kids toys to have been treated with fire retardant than not! I suppose what Aurora is putting the emphasis on is the eco aspect of the product, made from natural fibres and stuffing that is ecologically sound etc. Personally I think it's nice to have a soft toy made of natural fibres like these and that still looks good. I mean, I've seen cuddly toys made from wool without use of any harmful substance and all that, but with all due respect to the persons who made them, they sometimes hardly look like the animal they're supposed to represent! The cuddly toys from Aurora that I've seen, look good, feel nice, and if they're better for the environment that's all the better. You can get toys labeled as organic, but is something organic necessary kind to the environment too? Can some manufacturer not bring the 2 together? I'd say it's only a matter of time. If you know of any soft toy manufacturer that has managed that, let me know! That’s a good point… At the same time I think I prefer my kids toys to have been treated with fire retardant than not!

They are not labeled organic, and how do they meet the ASTM International standards and guidelines for toy safety if they aren't using some fire retardant? I don't worry about my child's toy catching fire (what's the probability of that?), I worry about them putting fire retardant or pesticides in their mouth...

I always worry because my 2-year-old daughter always has the habit of putting her favorite toys in her mouth. Well at least we have someone to come up with such great ideas.
