Tell Walmart to Get Dangerous Products off its Shelves

Tell Walmart to Get Dangerous Products off its Shelves

The Issue

Walmart is currently products for children that have dangerous levels of lead, chlorine arsenic, cadmium and bromine-all toxic substances.

As the world's largest retailer, Walmart has tremendous influence over manufacturers and could be a powerful force in making sure our children's toys meet strict safety standards.

But Walmart isn't standing up for its customer's safety. Instead it's pressuring its suppliers to deliver goods as cheaply as possible - forcing them to cut corners on product safety to meet Walmart's price demands and still make a profit.

There's no price at which we should be willing to accept products that jeopardize our children's health.

Send a letter to Walmart CEO Mike Duke and ask him to pull dangerous products off Walmart shelves and stop sacrificing safety for profits.
