Materials

Our cribs, dressers and changers are made of New Zealand pine wood from sustainable forests. This is one of the most sustainable and renewable wood resources, and its forests are expanding, increasing total wood production annually. Some of the panels of our products also use CARB II compliant MDF and 100% wood veneers.

Stains & Paints

Our products are finished in a non-toxic multi-step staining and painting process. The paint used for all of our products are formaldehyde and lead safe; the formaldehyde level for all of our furniture is undetectable. Paint is considered safe when it has toxic materials under 300 parts per million (ppm). In order for a company to claim low toxicity, it must have no more than 90 ppm. Million Dollar Baby Classic products come in at less than 2 ppm. We perform annual paint tests in order to maintain consistent quality, exceeding U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission regulations. In addition, Million Dollar Baby Classic products have low VOCs (volatile organic compounds).

GREENGUARD Gold Certification

The GREENGUARD Gold seal certifies that our furniture has been independently tested and verified to meet rigorous standards for chemical emissions and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), such as formaldehyde or phthalates.

 

GREENGUARD Gold offers some of the world's most rigorous and comprehensive standards for low emissions of VOCs into indoor air which can be a major source of indoor air pollution and may contribute to health problems in children such as asthma and allergies. Products carrying the seal have been tested for over 10,000 chemicals and more than 360 VOCs and certified as low-emitting by this independent, trusted 3rd party.

California Proposition 65

What is the California Proposition 65 Warning?

 

California Proposition 65 requires warning labels on products that could possibly contain any of the more than 800 chemicals or materials that the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) considers harmful. This list includes a multitude of naturally occurring and synthetic chemicals. The listed chemicals may also be used in manufacturing and construction, or they may be byproducts of chemical processes.

 

Products with this precautionary warning label are furniture that include upholstery, cushions, or pads and were manufactured before May 2019. As of May 2019, our 3rd party testing partner has expanded their scope of testing and is now able to certify these products are no longer required to list the CA Prop 65 warning label as a precaution. We made no changes to our sourcing; products produced before this date are made with the same materials and at the same factories, so we can assure you that all of our cribs and wooden furniture do not contain any of the chemicals listed. All of our cribs meet ASTM standards in addition to CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) standards and CPSIA (Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act) 101 and 108.


We test all our products on a yearly basis to ensure that they are safe to use, and are compliant with the most current voluntary standards and federal regulations. These acts regulate lead and phthalate levels in children's products, and all our products are lead and phthalate safe.
