This is my first review on Amazon ever! When I opened the box, these baby toys smelled strongly of toxic fumes, like paint or permanent markers. There is no way I can give these to my child. Despite being PVC-free, it is clear from the smell that something they are made from is no good. I am guessing it is the paint. I immediately boxed them back up for return to Amazon. Luckily, Amazon is a wonderful company for accommodating returns. Also, unlike the advertisement, water can easily get in the bottom since the ducks are not solid. And of course, if you need another reason, they are made in China. If you are thinking about getting these ducks, please read all the negative reviews under the individual duck products such as Bob Odd Duck Boon Odd Duck Bob or the other ducks before buying. I wish I had thought to do that because the 5-star reviews for the Odd Duck 4 Pack are misleading. In the individual duck reviews, you can see these same issues that I point out and also that others say that the paint can chip off into kids' mouths when they chew on the duck. Given the unknown toxic nature of the paint, that is no good indeed!
My biggest complaint with this product is that when I got it and eagerly tore into the packaging, I about fell over from the chemical stink that radiated from the ducks. While they may be PVC, BPA and the like -free, that apparently didn't stop them from painting the design on them with spray paint (or so it smelled, definitely something along those lines!). YUCK. Kind of defeated the whole purpose of purchasing them, in my opinion. My kid will definitely be chewing on them in the bathtub, a plant based paint would be WAY more on target with the product.

I love these ducks! I got them for my 8 month old...he loves chewing on soft plastic toys and I worry about toxins. These are made from the safest kind of plastic and they are water tight so mold can't grow inside. They are also brightly colored with super cute designs. They seem very well made and I think they are going to last for years...they seemed a little pricy, but they are the last soft plastic toys I will be buying. I threw away all the cheap vinyl toys we had and have these ducks scattered around the house. They have inspired me to get rid of as many toxins as I can in the bathroom...I replaced our vinyl shower curtain with a fabric one and got a natural rubber bath mat. Baby steps towards a safer enviroment, I guess!Read Best Reviews of Boon 4 Count Odd Ducks Here
No one likes a cesspool of disease inside their rubber ducks and thats exactly what happens when you use cheap rubber ducks with a squirt hole on the bottom where water can sit and ferment and EWW! Unless you bleach those ducks every time your child (or you?....lol) use them, they are only doing more harm then good. They just keep recycling the nastys into the bath water and your child could honestly get very ill and you will be scratching your head saying "All I fed him was broccoli and cheese, gave him a bath and now he is extremely sick, what happend?" Ill tell you, THE CHEAP SQUIRTING RUBBER DUCKS. They spread E-Coli like butter and you dont want that.**These ducks have no squirt hole, THEY DO FLOAT and they are PVC and BPA free :)
So the kids are happy, you are happy and your wallet is happy. Because if your kids are anything like mine, some things dont last very long in their grip. These duck are durable, VERY durable. And you wont EVER have to buy a second or third set because they last. (unless you light them on fire)

Ducks are cute and bright. Bit heavier than the usual squirt toys since this one does not squirt. It's a hard toy. My baby likes it, but doesn't love it like her other squirt toys. --that I threw out for fear of mold growing inside of it.Save 19% Off
