Makers of kids’ products reported using 41 of the 66 chemicals
identified by WA Ecology as a concern for children’s health. Major
manufacturers who reported using the chemicals in their products include
Walmart, Gap, Gymboree, Hallmark, H & M and others. They use these
chemicals in an array of kids’ products, including clothing, footwear,
toys, games, jewelry, accessories, baby products, furniture, bedding,
arts and crafts supplies and personal care products. Besides exposing
kids in the products themselves, some of these chemicals, for example
toxic flame retardants, build up in the environment and in the food we
eat.
