Thank the governor for banning toxic toys

Anyone who spends much time around little ones knows that kids are bound to put things in their mouths, whether they belong there or not. Which is why it is so outrageous that many things that actually are meant to go in kids' mouths -- teething toys in particular -- are made with chemicals called phthalates that are potentially toxic to kids and have been linked to disruptions of the hormone system, reproductive problems, and early onset of puberty.

Thank the governor for signing into law AB 1108 (Ma), which would ban the use of phthalates in children's products.
