Protect Children from Toxic Toys

Hazardous and untested chemicals don’t belong in toys and other children’s products when safer alternatives are available. Take action today. Tell Your State Representative that you support the Healthy Michigan, Healthy Kids platform. Send an email to thank those representatives who’ve already pledged to protect kids and ask them to start legislative action, and ask those who haven’t to step up and demonstrate their commitment to keep toxic chemicals out of children’s products.

If your State Representative has signed the HMHK platform, we will send them the first message posted below. Click here to see a list of State Representatives who have signed the platform. If your State Representative has not signed the HMHK platform, we will send them the second message posted below. Don’t worry, you don’t have to know what district you live in, we’ll be sure to send the correct message to your representative!

Message One: Thank You!

Dear Representative,

Everyday, children are exposed to potentially hazardous chemicals like lead, sometimes even in their own toys. I want to personally thank you for signing the Healthy Michigan, Healthy Kids platform that calls for:

Eliminating added lead, mercury, & arsenic in children’s products.

Identifying and informing consumers about other chemicals of high concern in children’s products.

Growing Michigan’s green economy through developing safer alternatives.

As a constituent, I hope you will be a champion for this issue and encourage you to sponsor a bill to implement this platform.

Thank-you,

Your signature will be added from the information you provide.

Message Two: Please Support HMHK

Dear Representative,

Everyday, children are exposed to potentially hazardous chemicals like lead, sometimes even through their own toys. I am disappointed that you chose not to sign the Healthy Michigan, Healthy Kids platform which calls for:

Eliminating added lead, mercury, & arsenic in children’s products.

Identifying and informing consumers about other chemicals of high concern in children’s products.

Growing Michigan’s green economy through developing safer alternatives.

I encourage you to sign this platform and, even more importantly, support any legislation that would implement these goals. As a constituent, I hope you will make this issue a priority in your service to the state.

Thank-you,
