The great folks over at Healthytoys.org, that provided us with that helpful database of what toxins are in what toys (check it out here), are petitioning lawmakers to overhaul the ancient Toxic Substances Control Act. This act, when it was created 30 years, ago grandfathered the use of many dangerous chemicals into law. The European Union has already completed extensive research on many of these chemicals and is phasing out or banning usage in their products (hence the "EU compliant" label many organic and natural labeled prodcuts carry). This act desperately needs an update and the chemical industry (along with their lobbyists and cash) will fight this tooth and nail. Add your voice to the petition so lawmakers can hear from concerned parents who want companies and toy makers to stop adding harmful chemicals to products we use everyday.
Sign the petition here, and thanks to Healthytoys.org.

Thank you so much for your comments, Jen. I am sick right now so a boost of positive energy from you was really needed! I am so glad that you are finding the blog helpful and useful. I love writing about this stuff because I care so much about it and want to help other parents as much as I can. We parents have to stick together and help each other out! I'm glad you like the store, too. It was fun to put together based on our experiences and my research. Thanks again for your comments, I appreciate it very much.
