Independently conducted research by Greenpeace confirms what Topco Sales and other adult companies always asserted, CyberSkin does not contain phthalates.

Phthalates have come under scrutiny lately as studies claim large doses may be harmful to rodents, and therefore possibly harmful to humans. Greenpeace Netherlands on Sept 6th, 2006 released a report that was conducted by TNO research lab, which tested eight different sex toys for concentrations of phthalates. One of the sex toys was a very popular CyberSkin product manufactured by Topco Sales. Out of the eight toys tested for phthalates, Topco Sales' CyberSkin product was the only one that did not contain phthalates. Greenpeace's research therefore confirms that there are no phthalates in CyberSkin. Despite the Greenpeace report, and Topco's long-standing position that CyberSkin does not and never has contained phthalates, the novelty powerhouse contends that misinformation continues to be purported by magazines and websites like XBiz.com, Internet blogs, in newsletters, and by misinformed salespeople.

Desiree Duffie, director of marketing and public relations for Topco, confirms: "Though there are adult products that contain phthalates, CyberSkin products are not among them. At Topco Sales, we've said all along that CyberSkin is phthalate free; however, despite that, and even despite the recent Greenpeace report, there are still news groups and misinformed individuals incorrectly stating that CyberSkin products contain phthalates."

"Part of this misinformation stems from the incredible popularity of CyberSkin," Duffie continues. "As a result of that popularity, many similar materials have been mimicked within the adult novelty industry. Unknowing consumers, retailers, and press often refer to any soft, stretchy or 'jelly-like' material as CyberSkin. Even though other products may be similar to CyberSkin, Topco Sales is the original, and the original does not contain phthalates."
