GreenScene – Stat of the Day

Congress recently banned the use of certain phthalates (thal-ates) in the production of children’s toys. Phthalates are chemicals commonly found in PVC plastic and vinyl products which interfere with hormonally-driven reproductive development. This ban, however, does not cover the SALE of those toys. Check healthytoys.org or the ZRecs guide to safer children’s products to learn more about the products your child uses.
