PSR Takes Action against Toxic Chemicals in Consumer Products

You don’t know what toxic chemicals lurk in the products you buy. Manufacturers won't tell you, and the government doesn't require disclosure.  So PSR is joining with allies across the country, calling on major retailers to identify voluntarily whether the products they sell contain specified hazardous chemicals. If they do, we're asking the store to develop a plan to remove them.

The conference was hosted by PSR/Florida's Lynn Ringenberg and Marybeth Palmigiano Dunn.
