Antimony and arsenic in playpens OT

[Guest guest]

I emailed Graco to ask if my son's Graco Pack and Play

contained arsenic and antimony. They quickly

responded back, and said that they would NEVER put

elements like that into their products. Doctor

says that playpens do contain the elements, so I

called them, and acted like I hadn't asked before. I

just asked what they used to make the Pack and Plays

flame resistant. At first they said that there was no

way to find out, then when I pressed them and said

that someone has to be accountable for that, they said

that they would find out. That was 2 weeks ago. I

called them last week, and they said that they were

still trying to find out, and that they would call

back within a couple of days. I never got a call. I

called a few minutes ago, and my information has

mysteriously disappeared from their computer system

and they now do not know who I talked to. So I asked

again and was told that they would call me back

whenever they find out. This time I told them that I

specifically needed to know if they contain antimony

and arsenic. I immediately got a call back from

someone at Graco in another department, and she was

asking about 's health and if he'd been to a

doctor about this and about his metals testing. She

asked how old he is and how long he had been using the

playpen. I know now that I majorly screwed up. I

should have ended the call and said that she would

have to talk to my attorney, but I answered her

questions and didn't realize how lawyer-like she

sounded until I had hung up. I think they're trying

to keep it hushed, and trying to nip this problem in

the bud. I will keep you all posted on this, but keep

this in mind if you are using a playpen.
