Action Alert

Speak Out Against Toxic TVs

***Action Alert***
Deadline to Act is June 27

The chemical industry wants new flammability standards that will lead to toxic flame retardants being added to new TVs worldwide. These chemicals can cause an alarming array of adverse health effects in experimental animals including thyroid problems, reduced sperm count, infertility, hyperactivity, mental retardation, obesity, and cancer. And they are known to out migrate from our TVs into our pets, our children, and us. Children and pregnant women are the most vulnerable.

By June 27, standards setting committees in up to 50 countries will vote on a chemical industry marketing ploy to fill the plastic cases around the world’s TVs with toxic and unneeded chemical flame retardants.

Tell the CEOs of the big TV and electronics companies who will be voting this week that we don’t want toxic chemicals in our TVs. Your message will be sent to the CEOs of Sony, Toshiba, Pansonic, Samsung, Sharp, LG, Philips, and IBM.
