My daughter absolutely loves the violet root, but she doesn’t just put the root in her mouth—she also chews on the chain attached to the ladybug. However, this ladybug leaves a stain. This really shouldn’t happen with a baby product, especially since it’s designed for teething, when babies put everything in their mouths.
Hello tvt-girl, thank you very much for your message and the photo. We’re glad your daughter likes this product so much. 😊 However, we understand that it’s not ideal if the ladybug’s paint rubs off and causes concern.
For our baby products, we use water-based acrylic paints that form stable polymer structures as they dry. These paints are generally not water-soluble and fully comply with the DIN 53160-1/2 standards for sweat and saliva resistance.
However, factors such as saliva, mechanical stress, or wood swelling can affect color stability. Unfortunately, real-world conditions cannot be fully simulated in the laboratory, which is why occasional color transfer may occur.
To ensure there is no risk to your child, we also test the paints according to the DIN EN71-3 standard. This standard checks whether harmful substances such as lead, cadmium, or arsenic are released. Our paints fully comply with this standard, so there is no health risk even if paint is swallowed.
Clear varnishes could increase color stability, but they carry a higher risk of harmful substances, which is why we avoid using them in baby products.
We are continuously working to develop better color systems that improve long-term stability. Wooden products present a particular challenge in this regard, but we are not giving up on making our products even safer and more durable.
Thank you for supporting us with your feedback. It helps us to further test our products and optimize them as needed. Best regards, your M-Infoline Team
