Deep River, Conn.

Oh Plah!™ Energy and other Oh Plah!™ bracelets are free of paints, lead, latex, PVC, BPA and phthalates, and it’s made in the USA using socially responsible practices. In addition, Roundhouse Design practices a closed loop cycle with it’s Full Circle Recycling program: When it's time, Roundhouse will pay to have your Oh Plah!™ shipped back to have it recycled into new products. President and Co-Designer Caryn Paradis said “Our philosophy as a company has always included our daily responsibility to environmentally friendly practices, striving for a cradle to cradle cycle and our minimal packaging. We view Earth Day as a reminder of our impact on the planet, and wanted to encourage other Moms and caregivers to also make a difference while maintaining their sense of style. We are proud to support environmental charities that work toward stemming global climate change.” Named for the French term, “Here you go,” Oh Plah!™ was co-designed by Caryn Paradis and Jen Pitman, who want to freshen up teether/toy options with safe, stylish products. Co-Designer Jen Pitman says, “Safety is a top priority in the design of this bracelet. Since babies are going to be putting it in their mouths and chewing the Oh Plah! ™, we use materials and manufacturing practices to ensure this product doesn’t pose a risk related to either toxic materials or choking. Now, instead of handing your baby a set of pointy metal keys or a germ-covered cell phone when they’re restless or cranky, you can give them an alluring Oh Plah!™ bracelet!” The special edition Oh Plah!™ Energy bracelet, which retails for $24.99, will be available in March, 2009.
