So why did we try to build a better duck? We became convinced that there were no rubber ducks on the market that were safe enough to be put in the mouths of very young children. Our good ducks are considered by many to be the safest rubber ducks in the world, and the only ones a baby should teethe on. All of our manufacturing, design and 100% of the materials are made in the USA. It is PVC-free, phthalate-free, and BPA-free and uses the highest quality food-grade and medical-grade materials tested by third parties in the USA.
