Lead contamination in toys prompted mass recalls last year, but toxic chemicals called phthalates are also widespread in toys and still legal in most states. Three U.S. Representatives now have the opportunity to change that, and they need to hear from

noted and signed, deplorable how these Corps. think its okay to poison children, parents really need to stay on top of things. I feel for the ones that don't have this info. around the rest of the world. Its hard enough to raise a loving child these days without toxins all over. Thx Jocelyn.,

Noted and action taken, thank you Jocelyn. It is sad that we even "have" to urge our Congress to act on legislation for this toxic chemical. (shaking head)

Noted and signed! Thanks Jocelyn for the post. I sent to twelve family and friends outside of Care2. Hope they multiply it a thousand times so that the message can have a big impact to our Representatives in Congress. Thanks for all you do, you are a sweet friend and a good mother. This is in fact for all the children in the world not just the U.S. as toys are sent everywhere especially toys from the U.S. that get sent to third world countries which don't always have the necessary proper procedures regarding safety issues.
