Remove Toxic Chemicals like PVC from Kid's Lunch Boxes
By Guest bloggerMike Schade, Markets Campaign Coordinator, Center for Health and Environmental Justice
When we first got thelab resultsback for our report on phthalates in children's nike air max 2015 vinyl (polyvinyl chloride or PVC) school supplies, we were utterly shocked by all of the Disneyschool suppliesthat contained such high levels of thesetoxic chemicals.
Disney Princess and Spider Man lunchboxes were chock full of these harmful chemicals, at levels so high they would be banned if they weretoys. For instance, a Disney Princess Lunchbox contained an estimated 29,800 ppm of DEHP.
You see, California Innovations sells a lot of Disney branded lunchboxes, and they started phasing out PVC in their lunchboxes back in 2005, over seven years ago. And today, none of their lunchboxes, including their Disney branded products, contain vinyl. None!
"As the market leader in insulated lunch packs, we believe it is our number nike air max one responsibility, both to our consumers and to the industry that we represent, to produce products that are safe in all respects. The Ultra Safe Protection System (USPS), designed exclusively by California Innovations is an extremely strict quality control standard that monitors every stage of the production process so as to ensure that all of our products are safe. To that end, all of our Disney, California Innovations, Arctic Zone and Columbia branded lunch products are PVC and BPA free, lead and phthalate safe and all exposed interior components are air max pas cher FDA compliant"
Mel Mogil, President, California Innovations
The company went on to tell us that, "It did not make logical sense to us at California Innovations that Congress would limit six phthalates for toys and mouthable objects but not for children's lunch bags and school supplies."
We applaudCalifornia Innovationsfor doing what's right for our children by eliminating PVC from air max pas cher their children's lunchboxes. If California Innovations can do it, other Disney licensees can as well!
Parents to Disney: No More Toxic Chemicals
While California Innovations has eliminated the use of vinyl, otherDisney branded productscontinue to contain these harmful chemicals.
Moms and dads across America are furious that Disney continues to sell vinyl school supplies, even though companies like California Innovations have shown us that it's possible to sell children's school supplies without these harmful chemicals.
Lori Alper, an amazinggreen momfrom Massachusetts, decided to take action into her own hands after reading our report. They state they will:
"By 2013, share a restricted substance list with our vendors and licenseesDisney thinks globally and strategically to anticipate regulations as they apply to chemicals and substances of concern. We canvass different sources from jurisdictions, NGOs, and consumer advocacy groups to medical studies to anticipate the next regulated substance. Our ultimate goal is to proactively reduce or eliminate substances of concern before it is required and to provide safe products and experiences for our customers."
This presents the company a unique opportunity to nike air max 2015 require all their licensees to eliminate the use of phthalates and vinyl. If phthalates and vinyl aren't substances of concern, we don't know what are!
Forward thinking businesses like Google, Apple and Nike have already committed to eliminating phthalates and vinyl.
