High Exposure Risk — Why This Product Category Matters

Infants and toddlers are uniquely vulnerable to chemical exposure. Their bodies are still developing, their detoxification systems are immature, and they spend more time on floors and put objects in their mouths. Pound-for-pound, children receive higher doses of environmental chemicals than adults from the same products.
