HealthyToys.org by SMS Texting
To help holiday shoppers preserve their peace of mind, MomsRising.org and HealthyToys.org have teamed up to give parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and others an easy way to avoid purchasing toys that contain dangerous chemicals.
All they need to do is text “healthytoys” and the name of a particular toy to 41411 to find out whether that toy contains toxic chemicals. MomsRising.org will respond instantly with a message, based on comprehensive tests of more than 1,500 toys featured on the online platform, HealthyToys.org. For example, if you text “healthytoys polly pocket car” to 41411, you’ll receive a text message back saying: “TOXIN LEVELS DETECTED - LOW: Polly Pocket Car Cool Friends by Mattel.”
