Safe Start For Kids

Your resource for easy ways to protect children from toxic chemicals!  

A project of the Washington Toxics Coalition
                        
As parents, we do our best to choose the safest products for our kids. But how do we know which products are safe? The surprising truth is that chemical ingredients in children’s products do not need to be tested for safety before being used. As a result, everyday products can contain chemicals linked with health effects like learning and behavioral problems, hormone disruption, and asthma.  

So what’s a parent to do?  Explore our easy tips on choosing safer products and creating healthy environments for your kids! And please sign up to receive breaking news about our critical work to protect children's health.

With the passage of the Children’s Safe Product Act here in Washington state this past April, we now have the nation’s strongest protections on lead, cadmium, and phthalates in toys and other kids products. Fortunately, Congress in the other Washington has taken notice and is considering strengthening protections for the rest of the country. To make sure that Washington’s standards remain in force, it’s crucial that the federal legislation allow states to have stronger toy protections for their kids if they choose.

Your voice is needed to protect this law!
