There is currently a bill in the New York State Legislature to test and regulate dangerous chemicals called the Child Safe Products Act. Let me give you more information about it and get your reaction: Over the past forty-years, tens of thousands of chemicals have been introduced into the market place and are used in the production of household goods. Only two hundred of these chemicals were required to be tested under federal law. Even asbestos - a known carcinogen - isnt covered under the federal law. Many common toys and products used by children every day contain these toxic chemicals, including lead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury. Exposure to these toxic chemicals can put children at risk for long-term health concerns such as cancer, behavior problems and learning disabilities. If passed, the Child Safe Products Act will require the State of New York to identify dangerous chemicals, make public what products contain them, and eventually ban their use. Q4 After hearing this information, do you support or oppose legislation being debated in the

New York State Legislature, known as the Child Safe Products Act, that would allow New York state to test and regulate dangerous chemicals used in the production of everyday children's toys and products?

Support ............................................................................................................................. 80% Oppose ............................................................................................................................. 13% Don't know ........................................................................................................................ 7%
