Phthlates to be Banned for Toy Makers
Phthlates, a chemical used to soften plastic will be partially banned by the United States government soon due to findings that health concerns may be in peril. Among the products falling under the plastic softener area include children’s toys. Hence, putting the life of a child in danger is something that has to stop and with the drive of the US government to put a halt to these harmful toxins, a lot of lives can be spared.
The chemicals, known as phthalates, are found in hundreds of household items, including soft plastic toys and other baby products, such as teethers, bath books, and rubber ducks.
Studies have found exposure may cause long-term health effects, including cancer, as the chemicals can interfere with the development of the hormone and reproductive systems.
