Scary really. Nothing seems safe when companies manufacture things with the aim of maximum profit not maximum safety.

Why i wash my daughters in boiling water!

I never used them with both my kids, i tried them when they were newborns but neither of my son’s liked a dummy 🙂

I wonder what else we use daily is also dangerous?

very scary! you just want to keep all plastics away from your child!

Scary stuff mind you everything seems to cause cancer these days but I’ll think twice about buying any baby dummies in the future.

My kids were all thumb suckers which was fine by me but total strangers in public thought they had the right to come up and tell my kids that their thumbs were dirty and they shouldnt have them in their mouths. How rude.

I would need to read more about this issue and gather more information before making a decision.

So basically there are quite a few products, not just dummys that has something in it that “could” cause cancer. If you listened every organisation that claims that something out there will make you sick then you wouldn’t do anything.

Omg, this is very scary. I know there may not be an immediate threat but still concerning.

It makes me glad only one of my kids wanted a dummy!

Is there nothing safe in the world anymore?

My daughter never used a dummy. But still… if they are worried that it can cause cancer, why don’t they take it out of the market, make all the necessary investigations, and then start selling them again when everything is cleared?

Just another thing for us to avoid, if we avoided all that we are supposed to we would eat or do nothing. But then again if we consumed all that could be beneficial we could have anything.

These sorts of warnings just add anxiety to parents. If the products are deemed dangerous, take them off the market. Don’t throw the word “probably” around, because just about everything could “probably” make us sick or hurt us.

It will be interesting to see where this information leads and what the upshot will be of people linking cancer to these products.

I am glad my youngsters are past the dummy stage. Why has it taken so long to be made public? What else can Mums give their babies to suck on? Babies tend to bite on the dummies and the bottle teats. Umpteen thousand children play on the soft rubber playground surfaces. Ours always have shoes on and we normally go during the cool time of the day otherwise the playground equipment becomes too hot for them to safely play on. We have had tyres manufactured in our metropolitan area in SA. Many use rubber gloves when washing in hot water, out in the garden etc.
