Are these mats free of PVC, lead, phthalates, and cadmium? Do they off-gas?

Sorry I don't have an answer. I actually throwaway because strong chemical odor. I've tried to return they asked me to pay for return shipping, it was almost the price of the mats themselves.

Hi Phil, unfortunately, I don't have the box any longer as I purchased these a couple months ago. However, the description on Amazon says that they are both PFOA-Cadmium Free AND PTFE Free. Hope that helps.

Do these pads contain vinyl, PVC or any other type of toxic plastic? What type of plastic is used?

Mrs Wallbanger, i threw away the box, thus i am not sure if it's BPA free. All that i can say it's that the mat had a VERY STRONG chemical smell. It went away over time, but it was very strong at the beginning. The mat is very beautiful, and the blue color is amazing. But be cautious if you are looking for something comfortable because this mat doesn't feel very good to stand on.

I read that they are BPA/PVC free but I would double check the company's website to confirm.

no - these are BPA and melamine free. Their materials is not actually plastic, but a compound that creates a hard plastic like bowl/plate/etc.

Emily, according to the research I've done, it doesn't contain PVC, and thr mat has almost no off-gassing. I've been using my mat about two time a week for the last two years, and I love it. It's thick, but I can still balance on it, and it feels nice onmy knees. Hope this helps!

Absolutely Not!! The IronDogFitness Jute Yoga Mats are made from the Jute plant. We wanted our mats to be ECO friendly. and not harm the environment. Also most PVC yoga mats have a chemical smell when opened and that smell last for quite a while, that's why The IronDog decided from the very beginning to make our mats from the natural fiber of Jute.

Yes, our mats and blocks are made of the same high quality EVA foam. They are BPA free.

It says its made from food grade material so shouldn't have any of those things. Also says BPA Free, Phthalate Free, Latex Free, Lead Free. I researched forever before I bought this! No EVA foam, PVC, or formaldehyde for us! We love it! Takes awhile to flatten out, but no big deal.

They are supposed to be lead-free. The manufacturer's website states that they conform to all FDA regulations and California Prop 65 standards.

They are labeled "food-safe silicone" and I have been using several for more than a year. I purchased the first in December '11 and subsequently additional mats. They fit my half-size COMMERCIAL sheet pans perfectly. They do not have the odd chemical odor that I have noted with some of the other (non-Silpat) baking mats. I usually avoid products made in China but this was recommended to me by a commercial baker who had been using them for a year.

I understand your concern, I'm sure you've noticed that these plates are free of Phthalate, BPA, Latex, PVC, Nitrosamine but they don't list "polypropylene" which can leach hormone-disrupting chemicals into the food. You could query the manufacturer but the bottom line is ALL plastic items have the potential to leach chemicals into our food and drink. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
