Protect kids, not chemical companies

The ban on children's toys containing phthalates was the centerpiece of the landmark Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act legislation that you helped pass in August. That law very clearly stated that all toys with over-the-limit levels of phthalates would need to be off store shelves by February, 2009.

However, last week the Consumer Product Safety Commission -- the agency charged with keeping toys and other products safe -- announced they would let manufacturers ignore Congress and allow them to sell toys laden with toxic phthalates until they run out.

Email Nancy Nord, the acting chairman of the CPSC, and urge her to protect kids, not chemical companies.
