The following cot rail teether is BPA, phthalate, pvc and halogene free, non-toxic and not made in China, made in Australia - www.muffetskidz.com.au and it is a proper teether with ridges for soothing gums, and one long length so there are no joins that germs can get stuck in.

Thanks for this great list. Do you know if any of these teethers are made in Europe or the US, and not in China?
