Over the last few months, nearly 4,000 parents signed a petition started by Sara Snow (green lifestyle expert, author of Sara Snow’s Fresh Living and Healthy Child, Healthy World Parent Ambassador; pictured here) asking Graco to eliminate its use of hazardous flame retardants in their children’s products. HealthyStuff.org has been working with Sara and Healthy Child, Healthy World to find our what Graco's policy is for flame retardants in their products.

Good news! Graco, the nation’s largest children’s products manufacturers, has eliminated the use of some toxic flame retardants in all their products. The chemical Tris, which is a cancer-causing chemical, as well as two related Tris chemicals and Firemaster 550 are no longer used in Graco’s foam.

This is a huge victory for children’s health and we applaud Graco’s leadership in this area.
