Currently, many toxicity tests are based on experiments in animals and use methods that were developed as long ago as the 1930’s; they and are slow, inaccurate, open to uncertainty and manipulation, and do not adequately protect human health. These tests take anywhere from months to years, and tens of thousands to millions of dollars to perform. More importantly, the current testing paradigm has a poor record in predicting effects in humans and an even poorer record in leading to actual regulation of dangerous chemicals.

Alternatives to animal testing exist in a powerful way and many scientists advocate them. Chemical reform should not only modernize policy, but modernize the science that supports that policy. Let’s ensure Kids-Safe uses all the necessary tools to truly make our children, our environment, and animals safe.

I’ve replaced all the products in my own home with safe, non-toxic products from a science-backed company that pays attention to this kind of stuff. I will never, ever go back to using anything else. Being pregnant, I am even more careful than I was before about encountering chemicals outside of my home as well. Here’s to converting all the homes (and workplaces where possible) in North America to chemical-free!

My goal is to offer information so that parents know they have choices that will not cost alot yet be effective and safe.
thank you for posting these comments.
PS: I have a testimonial of a man who had the insurance company total his van due to a product purchased at a large box store spill in the van and ruin the interior and eletrical wiring. The product was a bathroom cleaner.
