So why did we try to build a better duck? We became convinced that there weren't any rubber ducks on the market that were safe enough for very young children to put in their mouths. Our good ducks are considered by many to be the safest rubber ducks in the world, and the only ones a baby should have teeth 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- and medical-grade materials that are third-party tested in the USA.
