With the thought of back to school season already approaching (crazy, right?) now is the perfect time to consider some of the items on your upcoming shopping list. With a new school season comes a new lunch box and Thermos has plenty of great styles to choose from that are BPA-free and PVC-free so you need not worry about safety. You can even  www.thermos.com/cpsia to download certificates proving your Thermos products meet all safety standards simply by entering the product UPC or product number. The downloadable Certificates of Compliance confirm that the children’s products meet CPSIA standards (Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act) as proven by testing in independent laboratories.

One of their great products for back to school is the Dual Compartment Lunch Kits. Doesn’t this Star Wars version look cool?

* 100% PVC free with PEVA linings
