Get Toxic Chemicals Out of Consumer Products


Get Toxic Chemicals Out of Consumer Products
The Issue
The Ecology Center's HealthyStuff.org project has tested thousands of products for toxic chemicals...and found that they are far too common. Chemicals like lead, bromine, arsenic, and mercury showed up in products ranging from toys to cars and pet collars to purses. The problem is so pervasive that even careful shoppers can't avoid bringing chemicals into their homes. The current laws regulating chemicals in the U.S. market are insufficient and outdated. It's time to update the law and protect our families.
