Hillsborough, NC ‹ Adam & Eve, the nation¹s number one choice for all things erotic, announced today that it will cease selling products that contain phthalates.

Phthalates, which are chemical compounds used in beauty products, vinyl
flooring and, yes, some sex toys, have been linked to damage of the liver,
kidneys, lungs and developing testes in studies with rodents.

Used since the 1920s, phthalates are most commonly found in Œjelly¹ type sex toys. And, because the exact long-term effects in humans are not known, many adult toy manufacturers have ceased using phthalates.

Topco, which manufactures a number of Adam & Eve¹s Signature Toys, is now
advertising its products are phthalate-free, while Doc Johnson and
California Exotics are phasing the ingredient out.

³Within six months, Adam & Eve will no long offer any products containing
phthalates,² says Adam & Eve President Phil Harvey. ³Our main focus is, and
has always been, the customerŠ and in light of this new information, phasing our phthalates is the only answer.²

Adam & Eve encourages other adult companies to follow suit. For more
