Tagging Toxins Online Database Identifies
Safe Products
SafeMarkets.org offers a new clear- inghouse of information gathered by advocates investigating toxic chemicals in food, baby products, toys, furni- ture, construction materials and other consumer goods. Families, municipali- ties, builders and businesses can use it to identify potentially harmful products and find safer alternatives. Hosted by the Workgroup for Safe Markets (WSM), it’s a one-stop shop to provide information for consumers, retail- ers and manufacturers that are demand- ing safer products, says Beverley Thorpe, a WSM co-leader and consulting co- director for Clean Production Action. Mia Davis, vice president of health and safety at Beautycounter, who is ex- pecting her first child, sees it as a resource for parents to find a full complement of safe products for their families. “More than ever,” she says, “people understand how important it is to shop with compa- nies they trust and to support businesses working to create truly safe products.”
