ALERT: Stand for Product Safety

From Consumers Union

Is Elmo hazardous to your health?

One million character toys —including Big Bird, Dora the Explorer, and Cookie Monster — were recalled this month because they might be coated in toxic lead paint, a poisonous substance that can cause learning disabilities, seizures and even death when ingested. Before Elmo and Dora, it was hazardous pet food and toothpaste. What's next?

This is the 26th toy recall THIS year. We need to ensure food and products that cross our borders are safe for our families and us.

It is not enough to recall the toxic food and products that are already in our children's hands, we need to prevent them from ever being sold. Tell Congress we need to make sure food and products that cross our borders are safe today!
