One Response to “Kid Safe Chemical Act Means Safer Children’s Products”

    While the Kid-Safe Chemicals Act is definitely a step in the right direction for safer children’s products, it is important to note that the science behind all of this legislation needs to be updated as well to ensure true safety. Current animal test models are archaic and imperfect, and improperly tested chemicals are just as dangerous as untested ones. However, there is hope: a report was recently produced, entitled “Toxicity Testing in the 21st Century: A Vision and Strategy,” which outlined the necessary steps to improve chemical testing and guarantee that chemicals are more accurately and precisely tested. A revised Kid-Safe Chemicals Act that includes language enforcing more human-relevant, non-animal chemical toxicity testing methods is what means safer children’s products.
