Concerned Parents Speak Up About the Need for Regulation and Testing of Chemicals in Children’s Products

“I’m much more concerned about my kids choking on a Polly Pocket than the fact it’s made out of a plastic that was tested and approved by the government.”
Melanie DePasquale, Brunswick, MD

“I think the government has a responsibility to test all the alternatives to phthalates before they ban something that has been looked at and is considered safe.”
Amanda McGannon, Brunswick, MD

“Like any parent, I just want what’s best for my son. Taking a risk on untested chemicals in our toys is something I don’t want to do.”
Nadia Vigliotti, Brunswick, MD
