California Joins the EU!

Posted on 26 October 2007

Well not exactly!  What I mean is our governor has signed legislation prohibiting the use of phthalates in child care products for those 3 years and under.  This ban has already been in place in the EU so it’s about time the USA (well at least one state) finally followed their lead.  Other states are expected to take up similar legislation.  Why can’t it just be a nationwide ban?!
