This could potentially be extremely concerning in that a lot of 'greener' options for parents trying to provide toys/strollers/car seats/bibs/dishware etc to their children include recycled plastics. Lots of maternity clothing as well advertises that it's made of recycled polyester! I hope that stuff gets pulled from the shelves until it's investigated more.
