High Exposure Risk — Why This Product Category Matters

Babies and young children are the most vulnerable population to chemical exposure. Their skin is more permeable, their developing organs are more susceptible to disruption, and they spend more time on floors where chemicals settle. Plastics in baby products — bottles, pacifiers, teethers, toys — are in direct contact with the most vulnerable population.
