Kid-Safe Chemicals Act

Today I got an email from Ken Cook about the Kid-Safe Chemicals Act, which will be a badly needed updated version of the Toxic Substance Control Act from 1976. TSCA declared that some 62,000 chemicals already on the market are safe. Since then another 20,000 chemicals have accepted in the United States with little to no data to support their safety.

When TSCA was first implemented they grandfathered most of the known chemicals into the act without having them tested for their harmfulness. Because babies are being born pre-polluted with nearly 300 industrial chemicals, many associated with a range of serious diseases and conditions from childhood cancer to autism, ADHD, learning deficits, infertility, and birth defects. And the government has almost no authority to protect people from even the most hazardous chemicals on the market.

This is why we need to change this old law with a new and improved one to protect us and our children. Because of all the chemical pollutants out there, we are allowing our government to poison each one of us and our children, who aren't even born yet. All of the conditions and diseases mentioned above are a result of these harmful toxins. We need to let our government know that we are done with all the secrets on the labels of products. The companies making these products, whether cleaning, clothing, or toys need to be held accountable for what they are putting in them. If it can't be made safely, then we really don't need it! Let's work together to protect our children and our future...
