Re: Parents Against PVC Toys

[Jackie Hunt Christensen <jchristensen@igc.apc.org>]

  Bill -- As a parent, you should know as well as I do that kids don't care
  whether anything is SUPPOSEDS to go in their mouths!  My 11-month old's
  favorite "toy" these days is the remote control (we've given him an old one
  w/ no batteries so that he'll stop de-programming the VCR) and yes, it DOES
  go into his mouth when I'm not watching him every minute. 
  
  This is the crux of the issue for me w/ PVC -- we can't control what goes
  into our kids if we don't control what goes into the products!
  
  P.S. What happened to your signature? Aren't you still w/ teh Chlorine
  Chemistry Council/ OCcidental?
