Ban Endocrine Disruptors, Forever Chemicals, and Carcinogens in Consumer Goods

  • Products marketed to children, from plastic toys to personal care items, often contain dangerous substances like phthalates, BPA, PFAS ("forever chemicals"), formaldehyde, and flame retardants, many of which are known endocrine disruptors and probable carcinogens.
  • These chemicals interfere with hormone systems, which can lead to early puberty, obesity, infertility, developmental delays, and cancer, yet they remain legal in thousands of everyday products due to regulatory loopholes and weak safety testing standards.
  • Parents shouldn’t have to research every item they buy or decode complex chemical names. Federal agencies have a duty to the American people to ban substances proven to harm children, rather than protect the industries producing them.

Clean Water, Clean Air, and Non-Toxic Homes and Schools

  • Families deserve the basic right to safe drinking water, but in many communities, water is contaminated with lead, PFAS, nitrates, and fluoride, with no ability for parents to opt out.
  • Despite new research questioning the long-term safety of water fluoridation, it remains mandatory in many areas—a clear violation of informed consent and bodily autonomy.
  • Communities, not corrupt government organizations, must have the final say in environmental health policies affecting their children.

Full Transparency in Labeling, Ingredient Safety, and Corporate Accountability

  • Federal agencies currently allow companies to self-police product safety using the GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) loophole, leaving dangerous chemicals untested and unlabeled.
  • Thousands of synthetic ingredients and chemical additives in food, toys, cosmetics, and cleaning products are poorly regulated or entirely unlisted. Parents are kept in the dark by inadequate labeling laws and corporate lobbying that shield the consumers from harmful ingredients.
  • Ingredient transparency isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity for informed consent. Just like food labeling empowers dietary choices, full chemical disclosure empowers families to protect their health.
