Right now, a bipartisan Congressional conference committee is deciding whether to include a ban on phthalates in toys in the Consumer Product Safety Commission Reform Act. Phthalates have been linked to birth defects, early puberty (a risk factor for breast cancer) and testicular cancer.
Please write to the four members of the committee who are currently undecided on the ban on phthalates in the CPSC Reform Act, and urge them to protect the health of America’s kids by voting yes on this amendment. The Breast Cancer Fund Website makes it easy to submit your request online.
