Seventh Generation helps protect our homes by formulating products that are safe for the environment and by disclosing ingredients on our labels. But dangerous chemicals still lurk in our homes, in many of the products we use every day.

Exposure to chemicals can cause serious health problems, especially to our children.

The federal law that should protect us from health-harming chemicals isn’t working. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has required safety testing on only 200 of more than 80,000 chemicals on the market since 1976. Stronger chemical laws are needed to keep our families safe and healthy.

A new law should:

• Take quick action on the most dangerous chemicals.
• Require full information on the health and environmental hazards associated with all chemicals.
• Protect all people and vulnerable groups - including children and pregnant women – using the best science.

To help turn a new bill into law, a partnership has been formed between Seventh Generation, Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families, a diverse nationwide coalition comprised of environmental groups, health professionals and others working to pass smart federal policies that protect us from toxic chemicals.

You are needed too. There are 5,706 crawlers so far and the goal is 1 million.
