Dear Mr. Martin Bangemann:

I urge you to eliminate the use of PVC in all children's toys. Many soft PVC toys contain hazardous chemicals which can be ingested by children when the toys are sucked or chewed.

Laboratory studies show that these chemicals have been linked to cancer and kidney damage and may interfere with the reproductive system and development. Recent testing by the Danish and Dutch government concludes that children can ingest hazardous chemicals from PVC toys during normal use - sometimes at unacceptable levels. This is an unacceptable risk for our children.

Sincerely,

Signature
