Many American-made products come out of true innovation and the desire to help us all live healthier lives. Spuds products exemplify American innovation at its best. Out of personal tragedy, an Illinois couple developed Spuds dishes, cups, bowls, utensils and teethers to provide families with nontoxic feeding and teething products for their children.
In 2004 and 2005, Spuds creators tragically lost two infants
to a rare genetic disease. Since neither parent carried the gene, geneticists
could not determine how the babies developed the disease. However, doctors did
feel that there was a possibility that environmental factors may have played a
role.
Turning loss into action, the couple soon learned about the
number of toxic chemicals that children encounter each day through feeding
products and toys. Determined to do something, the couple discovered that they
could make nontoxic and biodegradable children's products from potatoes. In
fact, Spuds products are made from reclaiming leftover potato material from the
potato industry including leftovers from French fry manufacturers. Through a
process, a polymer similar to plastic is created from the potato material. Keeping
in line with the desire to produce nontoxic products, Spuds products are also
dyed with organic dyes. Spuds all natural products are safe for baby and safe
for the environment!
As we learn more about what we are putting into our bodies
and into the environment, we are all beginning to realize that we are exposed
to many toxic chemicals each and every day. Toxic chemicals are so pervasive in
our everyday lives that they are being found in newborn babies. Spuds is a real
leader in reducing our exposure to harmful substances. We are proud to have
Spuds products at Norton's U.S.A.! We have beautiful Spuds dish
sets, utensils,
bowls,
plates, teething
rings, and tie

developing a new line of nontoxic toys made from potatoes as well. Many of
these toys will be made in Illinois! We will keep you posted on this wonderful
company as they add to their line of products!
