Toxic Toys - let retailers know how you feel

Many soft plastic toys are made out of PVC (also known as vinyl). Vinyl toys contain chemicals called phthalates to make them soft. Phthalates are liable to cause liver, kidney and testicular damage and the European Commission has warned that they are released in dangerous quantities when children chew vinyl toys for long periods.

Greenpeace will be inviting retailers to remove soft PVC toys for children under three years old from their shelves. This note explains how you can play a part.
