Liquid filled teethers

[ChitaShines]

I've read that these aren't real safe because the liquid contains a
dangerous chemical. Is this true? Should I be using non-liquid filled
teethers?

Yes, all teethers contain the same liquid.

No, seriously. Read the package. Most liquid teethers say they contain
distilled water in case of puncture and are perfectly safe.

If you're really worried though you can get the all-gel types.

I doubt they would make unsafe ones, but you just never know. I only use
the distilled water ones. My goodness, some of them are flimsy! I would
skip the cheaper ones that are made with thin plastic. Morgan broke hers
within 5 minutes.

Nope. Ours are filled with distilled water and are in the freezer. They
could break, but they haven't yet. According to my friend who works for
Munchkin (the baby products manufacturer) you're not supposed to put them in
the freezer because if they burst the edge 'might' be sharp. However, she
said that they test them in the freezer and the expansion of the water
itself doesn't break them.
