Making the case for the Kid-Safe Chemical Act

Posted on Jul 16, 2008 by Susie Collins in Blog, Research, Susie Collins

Amanda at Enviroblog gives yet another reason why we need the Kid-Safe Chemical Act NOW.

So you’re imagining a toxic chemical that’s being used widely in consumer products, and you’re probably thinking that your imaginary self would want to avoid it. Wish her good luck, and then imagine this: there’s essentially no way to avoid it, not only because products that contain it aren’t labeled, but because not even manufacturers know when this risky chemical is being used.

The chemical is real, and it’s called chlorinated Tris. Angry? I imagine you are. I know I am. Chlorinated Tris is one of 80,000 reasons that we need a new chemical regulatory law.
