We’ve got great news today! Graco, one of the nation’s largest children’s products manufacturers, has committed to banning four of the most toxic flame retardants from all of their products. Graco car seats, strollers, swings, and more are now free from these hazardous chemicals. To read more about the announcement, see our press release.
 
Sara Snow, a green lifestyle expert, author of “Sara Snow’s Fresh Living” and Healthy Child Healthy World Parent Ambassador, created a petition asking Graco to eliminate its use of toxic flame retardant chemicals in its children’s products on Change.org.
 
As a result of the conversations Sara, Healthy Child Healthy World, and the Ecology Center had with Graco, we learned Graco is committed to ban and monitor Tris-related chemicals in their products. Tris is a known cancer-causing chemical.
 
We applaud Graco for taking this step and challenge them to become an industry leader by making healthier and safer products that no longer contain any hazardous flame retardants and implement a system to assure that safer chemical or non-chemical alternatives are being used now and in the future.
 
Please thank Graco for their leadership in eliminating toxic flame retardants from its products line and encourage them to take additional steps to make their products safer from chemical hazards. Send an email message to Graco Children’s Products CEO, Kristie Juster today!
