    One in three toys contains toxic chemicals according to report

    CNN (12/4, Clifford) reports, "One in three toys tested was found to contain toxic chemicals such as lead, flame retardants and arsenic, according to a report issued Wednesday by an environmental group." The Ecology Center's Jeff Gearhart led the research and said, "Our hope is that by empowering consumers with this information, manufacturers and lawmakers will feel the pressure to start phasing out the most harmful substances immediately, and to change the nation's laws to protect children from highly toxic chemicals."

    The     Long Island Newsday (12/4, Damiano) reports, "The new Consumer Product Safety Commission's regulations would make some products currently being sold illegal to sell two months from now. Experts insist the new regulations, while a good first step, do not go far enough to protect our children." The Los Angeles Times (12/4, Kozlowski) also covers the story.
