Representatives from sex toy manufacturer, Tantus Incorporated, have announced that their toys are made completely free of phthalates, a substance that the environmental group Greenpeace has found dangerous.
Greenpeace has recently called on the European Union to ban the use of chemical plastic softeners in sex toys because they contain dangerous substances known as phthalates.
Greenpeace research has shown that phthalates can disrupt the human hormonal system, diminish fertility, have adverse affects on the kidneys and liver, and also possibly cause cancer. The environmental group found that seven of the eight sex toys it tested contained between 24 and 51 percent of phthalates.
A company representative said that “Tantus takes great pride in the fact that all of our toys are made safe with the highest quality 100 percent ultra premium platinum silicone.
“Tantus silicone makes all Tantus Toys phthalate free.”
