Action Alert: Urge State Senators to Protect Our Kids From Toxic Chemicals
BPA in your baby's bottle? Toxic flame retardants in your grandson's mattress? Cadmium in your niece's jewelry? Enough is enough.
Parents, grandparents, and Michiganders do everything they can to protect kids from chemicals linked to diseases like cancer, learning disabilities, and infertility. But, it's difficult for families to protect their kids because manufacturers are not required to disclose their use of toxic chemicals in consumer products. There is no way to differentiate between safe and contaminated children's products. Michigan families deserve the right-to-know about toxic chemicals in children's products.
The good news is that Senators Kahn (R-Saginaw), Marleau (R-Oakland), Nofs (R-Jackson), and Warren (D-Ann Arbor) recently announced their commitment to introduce legislation on safe children's products. These Senators will be working to give Michigan families the right-to-know about toxic chemicals in kids' products.
Senators Kahn, Marleau, Nofs, and Warren have made this commitment to introduce this legislation because they have heard about this problem from Michiganders like you over the last few years. We need you to thank these Senators for their commitment to protect kids' health. Tell them you want swift action to introduce this bill. Please let them know how important it is for Michigan families to have the right-to-know about toxic chemicals in children's products.
