Birth defects, asthma symptoms, obesity in children, pediatric cancer, infertility, environmental allergies and more are on the rise. And, due to their staggering statistics, more research is pointing the finger at all the toxic exposures that children come in contact with. They become exposed prior to birth, as well as afterwards.

These exposures come from products right off the shelf. Plastic baby bottles, baby clothes, cleaning products, personal care products, to name a few. And, since all of these products are for sale to each and every consumer, a natural assumption would be that they are safe, or they wouldn’t even be available to the consumer. Right?

WRONG !!!!

Unfortunately, that assumption is incorrect. Of, over 80,000 chemicals being used in the manufacturing of everyday products, only about 200 of them have been tested by a 34 year old program, the Toxic Substances Chemical Act (TSCA) of 1976. In addition, all chemicals developed prior to the TSCA were grandfathered in, without being tested!

There is a very large voice right now, demanding an update to the Toxic Substances Control Act. It’s called the Safe Chemicals Act of 2010. The reports are in, the facts are clear, and something must be done and quickly.

Please watch the below video and go to SaferChemicals.org to educate yourself and to take the pledge. Without action by each of us, the exposures will continue and so too, will the health issues to go along with them.
