Don't Lick Elmo!

Is Elmo hazardous to your health? One million character toys—including Big Bird, Dora the Explorer, and Cookie Monster—were recalled this month because they might be coated in toxic lead paint - a poisonous substance that can cause learning disabilities, seizures, and even death when ingested. Before Elmo and Dora, it was hazardous pet food, seafood, and toothpaste. What’s next?

Let’s tell Congress we are sick of putting ourselves, our children and our pets at risk from hazardous products crossing our borders. This is the 26th toy recall THIS year—all toys produced in China. 

Enough is enough. We need to make sure food and products that cross our borders are safe. It is not enough to recall the toxic food and products that are already in our children’s hands, we need to prevent them from ever being sold! Please take a moment to tell that to Congress.
