CHULA VISTA, Calif. – Greenpeace has brought to light what Tantus Silicone has known all along. The environmental group has called on the European Union to ban the use of chemical plastic softeners in sex toys because they contain dangerous compound known as phthalates.
Greenpeace’s research has shown that phthalates can disrupt the human hormonal system, diminish fertility, have adverse effects on the kidneys and liver, and also possibly cause cancer. Greenpeace was shocked to find that seven of the eight sex toys it tested contained between 24 and 51 percent of phthalates.
Tantus manufactures all of its toys with 100-percent high-quality, ultra-premium, platinum silicone, making its products hypoallergenic, hygienic, odorless, tasteless, boilable, dishwasher safe, and completely phthalate free.
Greenpeace has published on its website additional information from its study of the hazardous effects of phthalates in sex toys and novelty items.
