150 Individuals and Organizations Join the Campaign for Chemical Safety Reform
In the near future the Coalition expects New Jersey Senator Frank Lautenberg to step forward with a new draft of his Kid Safe Chemicals Act. According to Householder, "We hope that the filing of that bill stimulates the rest of Congress to engage on the larger issue of overall TSCA reform."
Matt Cavanaugh, owner of member company Five Valleys Restoration and Cleaning in Missoula, Mont. commented, "Thousands of Montana small businesses use some sort of chemicals every day. They wouldn't be in business if they didn't know those products were safe, consistent in their makeup, and had relatively stable prices.” Cavanaugh continued, “The goal of chemical safety reform is to ensure that we maximize our ability to protect health and the environment, and to maintain the consistency that business depends on."
