Safety of Plastic Used in Step2 Playhouses

QUESTION:

I am looking into purchasing a Step2 plastic playhouse made from low density polyethylene (#4)and I'm wondering if it's safe for my kids...does it off gas VOC's? Is it bad for the air quality in my home if used indoors? Would my kids be exposed to harmful chemicals just merely playing in and contacting the playhouse even outdoors?

DEBRA'S ANSWER:

Polyethylene is one of the safest plastics. I have no concern about your children playing with it.
