SRJ cut out cups do not have the food safety symbol on them
What do you think? I would like to know your opinion and thoughts on this matter;
I personally like it when I go to the store to buy plastic ware or cups and see the labels on the bottom, like where it was made, if it is BPA free, is it safe for hot/cold, can it be microwaved, and is it recyclable and graded for food safety consumption. I would like to see Sara Rosenfeld-Johnson's cut out therapy cups labeled. Their representative does not seem to share my concern or have the same opinion as I do. There is so much cancer in the world and a lot of research points to chemicals that leach out of the plastic cups and bottles into our water/juice. Since these cut out cups are used for the special needs population I feel they need to have these labels showing the parents that these cups are safe and that the company cares. A lot of special needs children have weaker immune systems and we need assurance that the cups are safe with proper labeling. At this time the cups only have their address and not even where they were made.
Thank you

It would seem reasonable that the maximum amount of info should be provided on the bottom. However, the markings on the bottom of plastic containers are voluntary and were created by the USA plastic industry. These cut out cups are probably mass produced in China. If they are made in China, the cups are required to have a "Made in China" label or sticker attached when new. Searching the Internet there are a zillion offerings of plastic cut out cups but very little detail about what they are made of other than "unbreakable plastic." For many special needs kids, the unbreakable part might be a necessity.
