Ocean Adventures uses GermBLOCK™ ball-pit balls
GermBLOCK™ ball-pit balls are 100% made in the USA, from USA-sourced materials since 1991.
GermBLOCK™ ball-pit balls are blow-molded from polyethylene plastic, the same family of plastics from which milk and other common plastic containers are molded from. Our blow-molding process goes through several stages: material blending, molding, conveying, trimming, and packaging. We use a fully automated, computer-controlled manufacturing process that ensures a consistent, high-quality ball. Our trademarked GermBLOCK™ agent is added to the plastic material (called the “substrate”) in the blending stage before being molded into a ball. GermBLOCK™ is not a surface coating; it is an integral part of the plastic itself.
GermBLOCK™ balls are safe for children (and adults, too). They are molded of non-toxic materials. GermBLOCK complies with the CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY IMPROVEMENT ACT of 2008, and ASTM F963-7 regarding hazardous metals.
