Some other moms and I opened a store last years that sells organic and non toxic toys clothes etc. We really want to support the local moms-trying to stay home and spend more time with there kids-who make great simple non toxic/organic products in there home. The problem is that they cannot afford to get there products tested. We need government subsidized independent labs or grants for small or very small craftspeople! Also maybe is the materials that they use could be approved...and as long as they stick with these materials and the materials have a certificate they could sell there creations. Another issue that must be addressed is food packaging! what about canned foods and foods wrapped in plastic. They are surely intended to be consumed by children under the age of twelve. This is a major source questionable substances accumulating in our children's bodies and the bodies of breastfeeding mothers. Shouldn't this be addressed with this same bill? Thank you for asking for public input! Meredith As a mother that has been trying to avoid phthalates for many years I am so glad that it is finally going to get easier!
