Letter	The recent recalls of millions of popular children's toys due to dangerous lead paint is hard evidence that the federal government and manufacturers are failing to protect our kids from toxic chemicals. Unfortunately, these recalls are just the tip of the toxic iceberg when it comes to children's products. Lead and other toxic chemicals are in everything from baby shampoo to children's jewelry and toys. I urge you to pass the Child-Safe Chemical Act (HB 5705 & SB 2868) which will protect Illinois kids by: 1) Prohibiting the use of dangerous chemicals, lead and bisphenol A, in toys and other children's products. 2) Establishing an expert panel to advise the legislature on policies to address the thousands of other toxic and untested chemicals in household products. Parents should be able to buy toys and other products without fear of toxic ingredients that might harm their children. Sincerely,
