The California state Assembly is considering SB 1713, a monumental bill that would ban bisphenol A (BPA), a hormone disruptor, from baby bottles and children's feeding products.
There has been a political roadblock, and the bill could be killed by chemical industry lobbyists before it passes out of the Health Committee tomorrow.
But you can push it through. Click here to ask the Health Committee to support SB 1713.

Did you know?
- The "free-range" label doesn’t necessarily mean the animals went outdoors.
- "Fair Trade Certified" means more than paying producers a fair wage.
- Meat labeled as "natural" can contain artificial ingredients.
Consumer Reports has put together a new website to help us find out what the labels on our favorite products really mean. As the popularity of green product claims continues to grow, it’s important to know which claims you can trust and which ones you can’t. Use their search tools to get expert evaluation of labels on food, wood, personal care products and household cleaners. You can search by product, category, or certifier, and easily compare labels using their report cards. For labeling tips on buying greener products for your kitchen, you can also visit their virtual kitchen.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Yesterday, Senator Frank R. Lautenberg (D-NJ) and Representatives Hilda L. Solis (D- CA) and Henry Waxman (D-CA) introduced major legislation to protect Americans, especially children, from toxic chemicals in everyday consumer products. The bill would ensure for the first time that all the chemicals used in baby bottles, children’s toys and other products are proven to be safe before they are put on the market.
“Every day, consumers rely on household products that contain hundreds of chemicals. The American public expects the federal government to keep families safe by testing chemicals—but the government is letting them down,” Lautenberg said. “We already have strong regulations for pesticides and pharmaceuticals—it’s common sense that we do the same for chemicals that end up in household items such as bottles and toys.”

Nearly all conventional mattresses and baby mattrasses today use materials that contain ingredients like flame retardants and formaldehyde. CBS News is talking about hidden danger that those chemicals have, which Americans have depended on to protect them from fire.
Russel Long,vice President and board member of Friends of Earth, stated that now, virtually every American tested has been found to have some of these fire retardants stored in their bodies, with babies showing the highest level.

The Bad News
Simply because a product is sold at a co-op or because it has a pretty picture of the earth on the label with the word “natural” does not mean the product is non-toxic or environmentally-friendly. A recent study by the Organic Consumers Association, Dr. Bronner’s Soaps, and environmental journalist David Steinman found the toxic chemical 1,4 dioxane in a variety of leading personal care products that claim to be “natural” and “organic” and only products with the USDA Certified Organic Seal tested clean. It’s another eye-opening moment reinforcing what Healthy Child has long proclaimed: know how to read a label and research your purchases.
