Smiling Planet Joins Healthy Child Healthy World as Trusted Partner to Educate Parents about Toxics in Dinnerware

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Smiling Planet, a new brand of art-inspired, earth-friendly lifestyle products for all ages, today announced that it has become a Trusted Partner of Healthy Child Healthy World. The partnership represents a joint commitment to raising awareness about preventing children's exposure to harmful chemicals, and also reinforces the high standards of safety, quality, and environmental consciousness that Smiling Planet sets for its children's dinnerware. Made from 100% recycled and recyclable #5 polypropylene plastic, Smiling Planet's plates and bowls are specifically designed to be a safe and practical alternative to dinnerware containing melamine, BPA and other harmful chemicals. All products are CPSIA-compliant and use non-toxic inks to ensure the utmost quality standards.

As information continues to emerge about the dangers of certain plastics, Healthy Child Healthy World has been at the forefront of educating parents to "be wise with plastics," and make smart decisions for both their families and the environment. Smiling Planet makes navigating the confusing marketplace easier. Smiling Planet's eco-friendly dishes and bowls are dishwasher-safe, and virtually unbreakable. The company's whimsical artwork reflects their earth-friendly ethos with a message of peace, diversity, and respect for the environment.

"Today's parents are inundated with conflicting information about product safety, often leaving them unsure about which products are best," said Freddy Deane, who co-founded Smiling Planet with wife Olivia Haviland. "We're proud to join Healthy Child Healthy World to empower parents to find the safest possible products for their children, and for the planet."

"Mealtimes bring families together. Parents shouldn't have to worry about the dangers of what their children's food is sitting on. Making safer choices about plastics is doable, if you know your numbers. It's our mission to inspire parents to make easy changes within their homes – and support companies, like Smiling Planet, who offer safer alternatives," said Christopher Gavigan, Executive Director of Healthy Child Healthy World.
