Guest guest Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Children's Safe Products Act Passes House! Keep up the Momentum to Protect Michigan's Children! Please Take Action Today! Dear Shan: Earlier this month, thanks to an outpouring of public and expert support, the Michigan House passed the landmark Children's Safe Products Act (press release)by a nearly 2-to-1 margin. Thank you for your support so far, but our work is not yet done! Click to Take Action! The future of this important " Right to Know " legislation that will help provide parents and other consumers with the information they need to protect their children from toxic toys now lies with Michigan Senate. The legislation is pending in the Senate's Health Policy Committee, which is chaired by Senator Tom George. Please contact Senator George and your own State Senatorand urge them to support theChildren's Safe Products Act (HB 4763-4769). The presence of hazardous chemicals in children's products can have serious consequences. Increased presence of toxic chemicals in children's bodies has been linked with increased incidence rates of a wide range of children's health and developmental issues, including asthma and cancer. Parents should have a right to know which products contain the most hazardous chemicals. Special interest opposition to this bill to help protect Michigan's most valuable resource - our children - is growing. To win in the Senate, we need you to take action. Please urge your state Senator and Chairman George to pass this law to provide parents with the information they deserve to protect their children from toxic toys. Sincerely, Robert Fish Protect Children's Health! Please urge your state Senator and Chairman George to pass the Children's Safe Products Act. This bill gaurantees parents the " right to know " what toxics lurk in toys.
