Stop BPA, PVC & Other Toxic Chemicals -- Pass The Safe Chemicals Act

By Eve Fox (Contact)

To be delivered to: The United States House of Representatives and The United States Senate

I’m standing with families across the country and the Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families coalition to ask Congress to put common sense limits on toxic chemicals like BPA, PVC and a host of others by supporting the Safe Chemicals Act of 2011 (S. 847)

The Safe Chemicals Act would:

• Ensure chemicals are safe before they end up in consumer products
• Increase access to basic health and safety information on chemicals
• Protect vulnerable populations, including pregnant women and children

From the BPA (bisphenol-A) in our canned tomatoes and water bottles to the PVC (polyvinyl chloride) in our shower curtains and baby toys to the phthalates in our shampoo and shaving cream to the BFR (brominated flame retardant) in our mattresses and our baby's pajamas, we're surrounded by toxic chemicals that raise our risk of developing cancer, asthma, Alzheimers, and also cause a dizzying array of developmental, neurological, immunologic, reproductive, and endocrine disorders.

The Safer Chemicals Act of 2011 would help protect consumers from these and other toxic chemicals but it needs more support to pass in the Senate.

NEW goal - We need 400 signatures
There are currently 357 signatures
