Toxicity problem, the surface of this PVC mat

I bought this mat and the sky mat to compare. I was surprised to see that they are basically the same rugs! They are clearly from the same factory in China, you can see the bottom piece is identical and if you look closely you will see that these mats are actually two pieces with the top piece glued on top like an extra layer . You can see in the photos that the bottom part is the same and that there is a layer of glue on both. So I went through the details of the product to see what it was made of (my grandma has a chemical sensitivity so I know that). Things can really affect your health. The top layer is made of PVC! You don't want to stand on that every day, especially barefoot like I do when I do my dishes every night. I find it rather uncool that they say the material is polyurethane when the part you are actually constantly touching is PVC. No wonder these rugs are so cheap! I am returning both. I still give two stars because if you wear shoes all the time, you might not. like a big deal (although they both smelled pretty funny, so maybe something is being thrown up in the air.) and I'm sure they stand out better than the hard tiles next to the sink, they're soft. Durability with a top coat like this but I won't be keeping them long enough to find out so it's not fair of me to deduct a star for that.

Pros
  • kitchen accessories
Cons
  • It's hard to remember, but it was
