Sign the Petition for PVC-Free Shower Curtains!

Are there toxic ties to your shower curtain? The familiar new shower curtain smell may be toxic to your health, according to a new study by CHEJ.

New laboratory testing found PVC shower curtains can release over 100 chemicals into the air, some of which can damage the respiratory and reproductive systems, and even cause cancer. The good news is safer PVC-free curtains are widely available.

Join us in demanding safer PVC-free products for our homes, families, and communities.

Sign the petition below, and then forward it to your friends and family. After we gather enough signatures, we'll deliver the petition to major retailers like Wal-Mart.

I'm concerned about the results of the new study, Volatile Vinyl - the New Shower Curtain's Chemical Smell, which found the new shower curtain smell may be toxic to my health.

I'm shocked to find out that polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic shower curtains can release over 100 chemicals into the air, some of which are linked to serious adverse health impacts.

In light of this new study, I call on you to develop a concrete plan to phase out PVC shower curtains, switch to safer PVC-free shower curtains, and label PVC-free shower curtains as such.   In the interim, warning labels should be placed on PVC shower curtains to alert customers to the fact that over 100 chemicals can be released during use in the home.

Thank you for your attention to this critical matter.
