Avoid Toxic Plastic Toys
Tell the Consumer Product Safety Commission to stop the sale of toxic toys!
Check to see if your toys have toxins
Children's toys and baby products made of soft plastic may contain hormone-disrupting chemicals. Phthalates (pronounced thal-ates) are a class of chemicals found in many consumer products -- from cosmetics to children's toys. Commonly used in fragrances and to soften PVC plastic, phthalates interfere with hormonally-driven reproductive development.
Phthalate-leaching toys and baby products pose a particular threat to infants and young children. Phthalates can be ingested, inhaled and also absorbed through the skin.
hey interfere with the production of male sex hormone, testosterone, and have been associated with reproductive abnormalities. Numerous animal studies have linked prenatal exposure to certain phthalates with decreases in testosterone, birth defects of the genitals and reduced sperm production.
But don't bother looking for phthalates on the label. Without labeling requirements, there is no way for even the most careful shoppers to know whether a toy or other product contains phthalates.
Although Congress has banned the sale of toxic phthalate-laden toys beginning in February 2009, the Consumer Product Safety Commission has caved to industry pressure and created a loophole that will allow these dangerous toys to be sold indefinitely to unsuspecting parents. Tell the commission that these toxic toys must be banned from store shelves immediately.
TAKE ACTION
Tell
the Consumer Product Safety Commission to stop the sale of toxic toys!
