1. Question:  What are Viking Toys made of?

Answer:   All Viking Toys are manufactured from food grade materials approved under the FDA. The materials we use are high grade soft Polyethylene (PET), the same material used in environmental-friendly plastic bags, soda bottles etc. Certain small parts and figures are made of high quality Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) plastic, a material often used for the manufacture of medical devices. Polyproylene (PP) is used in certain parts requiring a slightly harder material and all our soft wheels use Thermo Plastic Rubber (TPR).

2. Question:  Do Viking Toys contain phthalates?

Answer:   No, Viking Toys do not contain phthalates or softeners of any other kind considered to be carcinogenic or harmful in any way. All our toys are also tested for 7 known harmful phthalates in order to comply with CPSIA and EC regulations.

3. Question:  Do Viking Toys contain Bisphenol A?
