http://www.beyondpe sticides. org/dailynewsblo g/?p=404"After repeated calls from parents, consumer groups and health experts to protect children from toxic chemicals, congressional lawmakers have agreed on statutory language that would prohibit the use of a family of toxic chemicals found in many children's products, according to the Washington Post. Legislators are proposing to include this language to the Consumer Product Safety Commission Reform Act (HR 4040 and S.2663). This new ban, set to take effect in six months, will have far reaching implications on the long-debated overhaul of U.S. consumer safety standards."Kim KramerHealth Education Information and Resource Serviceskkramer@heirs- online.com

Wow! Great find Deanna, all's I can say is IT'S ABOUT TIME! Question? The bottom link..............who is that for? Do you think we should contact her about the Miralax adverse reactions since the FDA won't move? We could attach the group files with all the FDA adverse reactions? It's worth a try? What do you think ?deanna gentry wrote: This is something interesting I got off
