A WA state bill would delay strong lead limits in cookware for years, slowing critical health protections. Lead is a toxic, brain-damaging chemical with no safe level of exposure, especially for kids.
WA residents, tell your state senator: Oppose this bill and keep lead out of our kitchens. #waleg

Olympic skiers are saying goodbye to toxic #PFAS in their ski wax!
If Olympic athletes can compete without PFAS, then it’s past time for retailers and policymakers to ditch these toxic “forever chemicals” in ski wax, cookware, and more—and transition to safer solutions.
