What is PVC? I know it’s in vinyl floors. Is it safe for children?

RE: PVC safe??
PVC stands for ployvinyl chloride. It contains a chemical called phthalates which makes the PVC pliable. These cause toxins to leak from the PVC which can cause cancer and asthma and can also damage reproductive systems.

RE: PVC safe??
I don't know what my original sources was, but check out the info about PVC towards the bottom of the page at this link.
www.kidlabels.com/about_us.html
It doesn't talk about flooring specifically, but does go into detail on the possible effects of PVC.
