Friend, we CAN get risky chemicals out of products!

[Consumer Reports]    Dear Friend, Consumer Reports tests the food your family eats and the products they use each day to make sure they’re as safe as possible – and to pressure corporations to do a better job. And the actions you take pushing companies to change how they do business make a real difference: two manufacturers of baby products that our evaluations flagged for risky chemicals now say they’ve eliminated those ingredients. This is great news! But we can do more together. Help us pressure the other major makers of baby products – including popular brands like Pampers, Huggies and Seventh Generation – to [eliminate risky ingredients that are linked to health risks or environmental harm](.  [Sign the Petition »](  Consumer Reports together with its independent partner, Made Safe, recently evaluated baby wipes and baby lotion because they come in constant contact with skin, which can absorb chemicals. In our in-depth look at 15 [popular baby]( wipes, several contained potentially harmful ingredients, including some tied to cancer risks. One of those products, from Coterie, had three ingredients that were either a known or probable health risk. But after we published, the company contacted us to say they were launching an updated version – available starting now – of their baby wipe that eliminates those ingredients. We also evaluated 13 [baby lotions]( and after publication, the maker of Tubby Todd’s Every Day Lotion said it had removed the chemical phenoxyethanol, a preservative used in cosmetics and personal care products. However, baby lotions from other well-known brands like Johnson’s, Aveeno and Dove continue to produce products with several ingredients that have known risks. Companies can do the right thing if we speak out together – we know, because some just did!
