I previously mentioned how some toys might contain toxic chemicals like lead, mercury, or chlorine and may end up possibly hurting your children. So, as we ring in the new year it is worth while to point out GoodGuide as a resource to help us find safe and healthy products. GoodGuide provides easy to understand benchmarks for making safe, healthy, and green buying decisions.

GoodGuide is great when considering toys for toddlers or other children’s products—take a look at their Holiday Guide to Safe Toys. But, since GoodGuide covers all kinds of products you can use it as a resource for everyday purchasing decisions.

For on the go users, an iPhone app is available as well.
