Protect kids, not chemical companies
The ban on children's toys containing phthalates was the centerpiece
of the landmark Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act legislation
that you helped pass in August. That law very clearly stated that all
toys with over-the-limit levels of phthalates would need to be off
store shelves by February, 2009.
However, last week the Consumer
Product Safety Commission -- the agency charged with keeping toys and
other products safe -- announced they would let manufacturers ignore
Congress and allow them to sell toys laden with toxic phthalates until
they run out.
Email Nancy Nord, the acting chairman of the CPSC, and urge her to protect kids, not chemical companies.
