Dear Friend,
Thanks to your calls and the combined efforts of scientists, legislators, concerned parents, and other conscious citizens like you, dangerous plastics are getting kicked out of the playpen. On August 15, 2008, President Bush signed a ban on six toxic phthalates, bringing Americans one step closer to toxin-free toys. Used to soften plastics, these chemicals have been linked to breast cancer, decreased sperm counts, birth defects, and other health problems. This legislative victory comes at a time of growing public concern about unsafe chemicals in consumer products - a movement spearheaded by parents and public health advocates. This victory demonstrates how rallying around a cause we believe in really can bring about change, and make our world a safer, healthier place to live.
Thank you again for your partnership in protecting the health of our children.
Sincerely,
Kathleen Rogers
President
