DEHP

DEHP, di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate, is a phthalate plasticizer historically associated with some soft plastics. For children's products, shoppers should check current phthalate-related documentation instead of relying on an unsupported label.

What to verify

  • Material family: ask whether the product is EVA, PVC, XPE, IXPE, rubber, textile, or another material.
  • Restricted substances: check which phthalates or related substances are addressed.
  • Product scope: read whether the report covers the finished product, material, or sample.
  • CPSIA/CPC records: compare DEHP language with current children's-product documentation.

PopsyKosy context

PopsyKosy pairs DEHP and phthalate-related language with current CPC/CPSIA documentation, USP Class VI-tested EVA, and material records rather than asking shoppers to rely on a label alone.
