Alix in Wonderland's blog over at The Green Guide sums up the nagging fears scritching and scratching at the back of our minds as we watch our children play with beloved toys. What about phthalates? Are they in my kid's toys? And if they are -- how much does it matter?"Maybe I should read more -- but when?" blogs Clyburn. "How are we parents supposed to stay on top of all of this, to protect our children from their own toys? When are we supposed to do that while we're also trying to actually care for our children, work and manage our own lives? If it's easy enough for moms and dads in Denmark and Spain to rely on their government to prevent these hormone disrupting chemicals from seeping into their babies' bodies, why can't we rely on Uncle Sam?"
If you're still trying to get a handle on this stuff in our children's toys and how to handle it, visit Alix's post for more links, resources and points to ponder.
