Hevea Pond Bath Toys: No More Icky Black Mold in My Rubber Ducky

Have you ever been blasted in the mouth with a slimy black mold filled jet of water? Just the thought of it makes my stomach do the chicken dance.

I’d be willing to bet if you have kids and those kids have cute rubber ducky bath toys the odds are good that THEY have.
Hevea Pond Bath Toys for SaleThat’s an even more disturbing thought. So when I ran across an article in Parents Magazine about Hevea Pond Bath Toys my attention was piqued and that chicken in the tummy went back to sleep.

Hevea Pond bath toys are specifically designed in one solid piece so there is no hole that collects water and thus breeds black mold. Granted a lot of the fun with rubber bath toys is the fact that you can fill them with water and squirt them at each other, but you can never get them clean enough to prevent the mold growth.

Watch out For That Darn BPA in Your Duckies

To up the anti on the earth friendly bath toy factor these organic bath toys from Hevea are BPA free, in fact there is no PVC, phthalates and no artificial colors.

If you aren’t aware of BPA yet it can’t be seen, tasted, smelled or felt but it was usually found in most plastics with recycle codes 3 or 7. These days many reputable companies have stopped using BPA but it’s always a good idea to make sure the producst you buy are BPA free.

BPA is especially dangerous for infants and children because it effects brain development, and has been shown to mess up the thyroid and possibly even lead to leukemia, among a host of other not so pleasant bodily harms.

Needless to say if you can avoid BPA in any possible way your (and your children’s) body will thank you for it.

It seems Hevea Pond Bath Toys are always in pretty high demand. Over the years their top seller was these rubber duckies, but they have expanded to teethers, and other bath accessories too. They have even released a few new styles of the original rubber ducky bath toys.

  1. Hi Chris,

    It is heartening to read about the Hevea Pond Bath Toys are BPA free. I have found that many of these bath toys are bad for the skin and of course for the health, in general. I have realized that some of the inferior bath toys lead to an itchy skin. I will definitely try these out for my kids. Thanks

    • Thanks Kalpana, I hadn’t thought about rubber bath toys causing itchy skin but I suppose that would make sense if you are getting exposed to the chemicals in the rubber. Thanks for the insight.

  2. Thanks for this wonderful news! Moms would love this toys for their babies. Since you mentioned that this is BPA free, so I’m sure it’s very safe for them.

  3. Thanks for this very informative and useful post Chris. I’ll recommend this toys to my sister. My 7-month old niece is fond of eating anything she just hold. Automatically she put it inside her mouth. This product is very good for her.

  4. My daughter loves the Havea Pond Bath toys. Glad to know they are BPA free.

  5. I’d rinse them with bleach every now and then. Another thing you might try is putting them in a nylon mesh bag so the air can circulate which will certainly help. You can hang it up so it dries. Sounds like you have some hard water where you live.

    • Bleach is just about as toxic as the mold or mildew. 🙂 I’d be more inclined to rinse bath toys out with hydrogen peroxide which is much less toxic than bleach. I wasn’t aware that hard water caused mold and mildew formation – I’ll have to look into that.

  6. That is good idea for a gift. Something that children will enjoy without a health risk.

  7. Hevea Pond Bath toys, this was my first time to hear. Thanks that you’ve shared. My kid would love this.

  19. That’s really cool. I’ve never thought to replace my bath toys because of mold potential. Ill be picking a few of these up next week

  20. There’s something so timeless about rubber ducks as bath toys and I’ve always wondered where the whole idea of bath toys actually started out? It strikes me as something that the Greeks or Romans maybe did – especially the Romans because public baths were such a large part of their society.

    And of course great to see that more and more people are doing their bit to care for Mother Earth 🙂
